Estimation of SMI models requires the Gurobi mixed integer programming (MIP) solver via the gurobi R package. To use this functionality, the Gurobi Optimizer must be installed, and a valid license obtained and activated from . The gurobi R package must then be installed and configured following the instructions at . The package also includes functions for fitting nonparametric additive models with backward elimination, group-wise additive index models, and projection pursuit regression models as benchmark comparison methods. In addition, it provides tools for generating prediction intervals to quantify uncertainty in point forecasts produced by the SMI model and benchmark models, using the classical block bootstrap and a new method called conformal bootstrap, which integrates block bootstrap with split conformal prediction. authors: - family-names: Palihawadana given-names: Nuwani email: nuwanipalihawadana@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0009-0008-6395-7797 repository: https://nuwani-palihawadana.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/nuwani-palihawadana/smimodel commit: e599f7f821d0ddb6f89ab8770428ff1d5f170652 url: https://nuwani-palihawadana.github.io/smimodel/ date-released: '2026-04-02' contact: - family-names: Palihawadana given-names: Nuwani email: nuwanipalihawadana@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0009-0008-6395-7797
