[R] S+ style implementation of GAM for R?

[Douglas Beare]

Hi,
I've got the R library "mgcv" for GAM written by Simon Wood which works well
in many instances.  However, over the years I
got attached to the S+ implementation of GAM which allows loess smoothing in
more than 1 dimension as well as spline smoothing.
Has anyone ported the S+ GAM library to R?
