Thin-Plate Spline Generalized Linear Models (TPS-GLMs) are an extension of Semiparametric Generalized Linear Models (SGLMs), because they allow a smoothing spline to be extended to two or more dimensions. This class of models allows modeling a set of data in which it is desired to incorporate the non-linear joint effects of some covariates to explain the variability of a certain variable of interest. In the spatial context, these models are quite useful, since they allow the effects of locations to be included, both in trend and dispersion, using a smooth surface. In this work, we extend the local influence technique for the TPS-GLM model in order to evaluate the sensitivity of the maximum penalized likelihood estimators against small perturbations in the model and data. We fit our model through a joint iterative process based on Fisher Scoring and weighted backfitting algorithms. In addition, we obtained the normal curvature for the case-weight perturbation and response variable additive perturbation schemes, in order to detect influential observations on the model fit. Finally, two data sets from different areas (agronomy and environment) were used to illustrate the methodology proposed here.
