The procedure models the regression surface as a sum of general smooth functions of linear combinations of the predictor variables in an iterative manner. It is more general than standard stepwise and stagewise regression procedures, does not require the definition of a metric in the predictor space, and lends itself to graphical interpretation.},

	abstract = {Summary. A general class of statistical models for a univariate response variable is presented which we call the generalized additive model for location, scale and shape {(GAMLSS).} The model assumes independent observations of the response variable y given the parameters, the explanatory variables and the values of the random effects. The distribution for the response variable in the {GAMLSS} can be selected from a very general family of distributions including highly skew or kurtotic continuous and discrete distributions. The systematic part of the model is expanded to allow modelling not only of the mean (or location) but also of the other parameters of the distribution of y, as parametric and/or additive nonparametric (smooth) functions of explanatory variables and/or random-effects terms. Maximum (penalized) likelihood estimation is used to fit the (non)parametric models. A {Newton–Raphson} or Fisher scoring algorithm is used to maximize the (penalized) likelihood. The additive terms in the model are fitted by using a backfitting algorithm. Censored data are easily incorporated into the framework. Five data sets from different fields of application are analysed to emphasize the generality of the {GAMLSS} class of models.},

	abstract = {S-{PLUS} is a powerful environment for the statistical and graphical analysis of data. It provides the tools to implement many statistical ideas which have been made possible by the widespread availability of workstations having good graphics and computational capabilities. This book is a guide to using S-{PLUS} to perform statistical analyses and provides both an introduction to the use of S-{PLUS} and a course in modern statistical methods. S-{PLUS} is available for both Windows and {UNIX} workstations, and both versions are covered in {depth.The} aim of the book is to show how to use S-{PLUS} as a powerful and graphical data analysis system. Readers are assumed to have a basic grounding in statistics, and so the book in intended for would-be users of S-{PLUS} and both students and researchers using statistics. Throughout, the emphasis is on presenting practical problems and full analyses of real data sets. Many of the methods discussed are state-of-the-art approaches to topics such as linear, nonlinear, and smooth regression models, tree-based methods, multivariate analysis and pattern recognition, survival analysis, time series and spatial statistics. Throughout, modern techniques such as robust methods, non-parametric smoothing, and bootstrapping are used where {appropriate.This} third edition is intended for users of S-{PLUS} 4.5, 5.0, 2000 or later, although S-{PLUS} 3.3/4 are also considered. The major change from the second edition is coverage of the current versions of S-{PLUS.} The material has been extensively rewritten using new examples and the latest computationally intensive methods. The companion volume on S Programming will provide an in-depth guide for those writing software in the S {language.The} authors have written several software libraries that enhance S-{PLUS;} these and all the datasets used are available on the Internet in versions for Windows and {UNIX.} There are extensive on-line complements covering advanced material, user-contributed extensions, further exercises, and new features of S-{PLUS} as they are {introduced.Dr.} Venables is now Statistician with {CSRIO} in Queensland, having been at the Department of Statistics, University of Adelaide, for many years previously. He has given many short courses on S-{PLUS} in Australia, Europe, and the {USA.} Professor Ripley holds the Chair of Applied Statistics at the University of Oxford, and is the author of four other books on spatial statistics, simulation, pattern recognition, and neural networks.},

             conclusions from data. One assumes that the data are generated by a given
             stochastic data model. The other uses algorithmic models and treats the data
             mechanism as unknown. The statistical community has been committed to the
             almost exclusive use of data models. This commitment has led to irrelevant
             theory, questionable conclusions, and has kept statisticians from working on a
             large range of interesting current problems. Algorithmic modeling, both in
             theory and practice, has developed rapidly in fields outside statistics. It can
             be used both on large complex data sets and as a more accurate and informative
             alternative to data modeling on smaller data sets. If our goal as a field is to
             use data to solve problems, then we need to move away from exclusive dependence
             on data models and adopt a more diverse set of tools.},

The book is suitable as a textbook for students with little background in regression as well as a reference book for statistically oriented scientists such as biostatisticians, econometricians, quantitative social scientists, epidemiologists, with a good working knowledge of regression and the desire to begin using more flexible semiparametric models.
