So I come from a stat background and primarily use R. Julia has been amazing but I’m wondering is there a GAM package at all in the ecosystem? I have used GLM.jl so I’m wondering if there is something that is kind of like mgcv in R with the same formula syntax. Is anybody working on porting mgcv over to Julia?
