Attributes

term_label: str

Human-readable label for the smooth term.

k_prime: int

Basis dimension after identifiability constraints (upper bound on EDF).

edf: float

Effective degrees of freedom for the smooth.

k_index: float

Ratio of neighbor-differencing variance estimate to overall residual variance. Values well below 1 suggest k may be too small.

p_value: float

Simulation-based p-value. Low values indicate the basis dimension may be inadequate.
