Thread-topic: [S] Summary on MARS
The S+BEST library contains functions similar to (because they are derived from) software by
Charles Kooperberg including software for logspline density estimation, hazard regression, and
adaptive generalized linear models.  The "regression" family in the adaptive generalized linear models
function fits models si milar in character to MARS.  This software can be access on Linux, windows, and
solaris environments for S-PLUS 6 by down loading the S+BEST library from

I want to Thank Any Liaw, Tamara Shatar, Rob Tibshirani, Patricia Beziat, Eric Wong,
Sean Keenan, Falk Huettmann, Kunio Takezawa, Nick Ellis, Bjxrn-Helge Mevik,
and others.

Here are some sample of answers:

The library mda by Trevor Hastie and Robert Tibshirani contains an
implementation of mars.
For Splus go to http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/MASS4/Winlibs/.
For R simply load the package from CRAN.
-Nick Ellis

Try the website http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~jhf/MART.html

Cheers,

revor Hastie has implemented mars in the mda library, which can be found
either on STATLIB or Hastie's web site.  The same code has been ported to
the `mda' package for R (available on CRAN).

Charles Kooperberg also has an R package `polspline' that fits similar
models to MARS, but has more features (e.g., estimates density, hazard rate,
classification, etc.)
-Andy Liaw

Venables and Ripley discuss this in Modern Applied Statistics with S (4th
edition - page 235).  Apparently it is in library section mda or another
restricted version is in library section polymers (Kooperberg and O'Connor).

-Tamara Shatar.
