Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) are a powerful tool for actuaries, offering a flexible, data-driven approach to modeling continuous variables while maintaining interpretability and avoiding overfitting. They provide a natural extension to Generalized Linear Models (GLMs), with many shared techniques and methods, making GAMs a useful addition to the actuarial toolkit.
