The MARS procedure, to be discussed below, may be thought of as a procedure for selecting an optimal set of basis functions that are to be used as the predictor of a given dependent variable. The basis functions used by MARS differ slightly from the basis functions described here. We have chosen to use the basis functions as described here in preference to those used by MARS, because the former seem easier to interpret.","tracks":[]}
