This is a website about the kinds of things you can do in mgcv that you might not have realised that you can do in mgcv.

- cross-validation
- stochastic partial differential equation smoothing
- capture-recapture (I think?)
- being a secret Bayesian and being a more obvious Bayesian
with bonus material on:
- how to do things not in mgcv(how to importmgcvsmoothers into other models/frameworks/software)
