Spline regression, generalized additive models and component-wise gradient boosting utilizing geometrically designed (GeD) splines. GeDS regression is a non-parametric method inspired by geometric principles, for fitting spline regression models with variable knots in one or two independent variables. It efficiently estimates the number of knots and their positions, as well as the spline order, assuming the response variable follows a distribution from the exponential family. GeDS models integrate the broader category of generalized (non-)linear models, offering a flexible approach to model complex relationships. A description of the method can be found in Kaishev et al. (2016) doi:10.1007/s00180-015-0621-7 and Dimitrova et al. (2023) doi:10.1016/j.amc.2022.127493. Further extending its capabilities, GeDS's implementation includes generalized additive models (GAM) and functional gradient boosting (FGB), enabling versatile multivariate predictor modeling, as discussed in the forthcoming work of Dimitrova et al. (2026).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("GeDS", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("emilioluissaenzguillen/GeDS")

Development version from emilioluissaenzguillen/GeDS. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-geds

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-GeDS

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-GeDS

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
