This development is thoroughly described in \citet{gasparrini2017biomet}. The extension of the DLM/DLNM framework to penalized splines within generalized additive models is implemented by embedding the \Rpkg{dlnm} and \Rpkg{mgcv} packages. The latter is used primarily as a computational engine for the estimation of smoothed exposure-lag-response relationships, and to a some extent as a tool for deriving the parameterization of the basis functions and penalty terms. Specifically, two approaches to penalization are implemented in \Rpkg{dlnm} and described here. A general overview of functions included in the package, with information on its installation and a brief summary of the DLNM methodology are included in the vignette \vign{dlnmOverview}, which represents the main documentation of \Rpkg{dlnm}. The user can refer to that vignette for a general introduction to the package.
