  1. 7. ,GAMs are invaluable where explainability is non-negotiable.
  2. 9. , GAMs are known for their transparency, making decisions understandable.
  3. 10. ,GAMs combine linear interpretability with nonlinear flexibility.
  4. 11. ,One advantage over black-boxes is higher trust in model outputs.
  5. 12. ,GAMs allow formal inference and confidence intervals.
  6. 14. ,GAMs balance accuracy and interpretability in comparison charts.
  7. 15. ,GAMs use smooth functions to capture non-linear relationships.
Down
  1. 1. ,Compared to deep nets, GAMs are more explainable.
  2. 2. ,Visuals can reveal U-shaped or monotonic relationships (and other shapes).
  3. 3. ,Regulators demand high model transparency (especially in finance).
  4. 4. , The plots are called partial dependence plots.
  5. 5. , Smooth functions in GAMs are often implemented with splines.
  6. 6. ,The healthcare example predicted patient readmission risk.
  7. 8. ,The “G” in GAM stands for General.
  8. 13. , In finance, GAMs are used for credit scoring to keep models auditable.
  9. 15. , “Additive” means the model is a sum of individual feature effects.
