Mixtures of g-Priors for Generalised Additive Model Selection with   Penalised Splines
  We propose an objective Bayesian approach to the selection of covariates and their penalised splines transformations in generalised additive models. Specification of a reasonable default prior for the model parameters and combination with a multiplicity-correction prior for the models themselves is crucial for this task. Here we use well-studied and well-behaved continuous mixtures of g-priors as default priors. We introduce the methodology in the normal model and extend it to non-normal exponential families. A simulation study and an application from the literature illustrate the proposed approach. An efficient implementation is available in the R-package "hypergsplines".
