Does Spark MLlib support Generalized Additive Modeling? How does one go about implementing GAM models in Spark?

[Pavan1]

I want to implement GAM (Generalized additive model) model in Spark. Based on my research on online forums, I could not find the implementation of GAM models on Spark. Has anyone in this community attempted this? Does Spark MLlib support GAM?

Hi @Kaniz Fatma​, thanks for sharing this. We ended up using pyGAM library in Python for this. This PDF is a good introduction. I will share my learnings once we complete our experiments.
