R-users E-mail: r-help@r-project.org My understanding is that package "mgcv" is based on "Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R (by Simon N. Wood)". On the page 126 of this book, eq(3.4) looks a quartic equation with respect to "x", not a cubic equation. I am wondering if all routines which uses cubic splines in mgcv are based on this quartic equation. In my humble opinion, the '^4' in the first term of the second line of this equation should be '^3'.
