A new method for nonparametric multiple regression is presented. The procedure models the regression surface as a sum of general smooth functions of linear combinations of the predictor variables in an iterative manner. This procedure is more general than standard stepwise and stagewise regression procedures, is affine invariant, does not require the definition of a metric, and lends itself to graphical interpretation. 3 figures.
