Questions tagged [concurvity]
Concurvity refers to the nonlinear dependencies among covariates in an additive model, and is related to the concept of collinearity among predictors in a linear model. This tag should be used when a question is related to (multi)collinearity in the predictors of a model where the model contains smooth functions of covariates such as generalized additive models.

GAM: Do shrinkage smooth splines also address for concurvity?
I have a gam model with automatic predictor selection based on cubic splines (bs = cr) and SELECT == T or shrinkage cubic splines (bs = cs) and SELECT == F.
Now I'm wondering if predictors affected ...

Is it okay to ignore concurvity on our GAM model?
I'm trying to model a relationship between marine debris concentration (item/m^2) with several covariates using GAM with MGCV R package. I found that the concurvity values at worst-case scenario are ...

GAM concurvity measures greater than 1
I am currently using a gam modelling approach to describe the effects of several variables (es_sum, nat_sum, sect_sum, and prop_spec) on another variable (btwn). Each of es_sum, nat_sum, sect_sum, and ...

Variance components of a penalized spatial GAM have very large confidence intervals
I am working through a spatial GAM example in one of Simon Wood's lectures (found here), and ran into some problems surrounding concurvity and penalization. I've read a number of other posts on ...

concurvity in negative binomial GAM
I'm using the concurvity function to check for concurvity in my model - a negative binomial GAM using the mgcv package in R. The output I get when comparing to the rest of the model (ie full=TRUE) ...
