Two books on GAMLSS are in preparation:
- The Distribution Toolbox of GAMLSS
- GAMLSS Flexible Regression in R.
Draft versions of the two books will available in the web soon.
The GAMLSS R reference card
The gamlss packages reference card is available here
Manuals and Booklets from past short courses
- The second edition of the manual of the gamlss package in pdf form. This is a good starting point covering most of the topics of the original gamlss package but it is now dated since was created in 2008.
- The Journal of Statistical Software which has a brief introduction to GAMLSS and shows how the models can be used in practice.
- Course notes from the Utrecht 2008 short course on GAMLSS. Course notes from the Lancaster 2009 short course. The notes for the Athens 2010 short course can be downloaded here (12 MB) .
Below is a list of papers related to GAMLSS. We have included papers in which at least one of the authors is a member of the GAMLSS team or papers which have a considerable GAMLSS related content. If any of your articles falls in any of those categories please let us know.
