Spike-and-Slab Generalized Additive Models and Scalable Algorithms for High-Dimensional Data
TL;DR: In this article, a spike-and-slab spline prior is proposed to select components of smoothing functions, and two scalable and deterministic algorithms, EM-Coordinate Descent and EM-Iterative Weighted Least Squares, are developed for different utilities.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated whether the neighborhood socioeconomic environment (NSEE) affects type 2 diabetes through the LTPA environment and found that the most consistent findings were for mediation via physical activity facility density in rural communities, where they observed positive indirect effects (differences in T2D incidence rates (95% CI) comparing the highest versus lowest quartiles of NSEE, multiplied by 100) of 1.53 (0.25, 3.05) in REGARDS and 0.0066(0.0038, 0.99) in VADR).
