Cubic Spline Regression Model. An alternative and often superior approach to modeling nonlinear relationships is to use splines P. In linear regression the entire dataset is considered at once.
It turns out indeed they were important but they were lost by not considering that they had a non-linear impact. Nov 27 2020 Figure 24. But in spline regression the dataset is divided into bins.

Splines provide a way to smoothly interpolate between fixed points called knots. Restricted cubic splines which are a transformation of a continuous predictor provide a simple way to create test and model non-linear relationships in regression models. In linear regression the entire dataset is considered at once. The spline represents a nonlinear additive contribution to the response due to the Age variable.
