similar to: Bug in lowess

The lowess() help page refers to documentation in "src/appl/lowess.doc". This was moved to "src/library/stats/src/lowess.doc" in 2007. This patch fixes it: Index: src/library/stats/man/lowess.Rd =================================================================== --- src/library/stats/man/lowess.Rd (revision 79137) +++ src/library/stats/man/lowess.Rd (working copy) @@

Hi, A lowess method is defined in our package for one of our S4 classes. To explicitely define the generic this is being used if (!isGeneric("lowess")) setGeneric("lowess", useAsDefault = lowess) This works fine for many other methods inherited from various R packages. In this case a warning is issued in R CMD check: * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE

Colleagues ---------------------------------- System info: R version rw1022 on NT ESS v. 5.1.18 using emacs ver. 20.4 ---------------------------------- I would like to access the residuals from a lowess fit (function lowess() ) as an aid to assessing whether I am over-smoothing or under-smoothing a dataset (as in Cleveland's book "Visualizing data", section 3.3) Unless I

Hi, all, I want to use lowess(x, y) where x and y are vectors of length of 4000+. In fact, x and y are log of some vectors. So, some of the elements are NaN. lowess() can not take away those elements then do the fitting. It will give the error message and do nothing. 1. Can anybody tell me how to get rid of those NaN's and use lowess()? 2. How to get the LOWESS fitting values for any

Hi there, I'm plotting some glass RI values just by plotting plot(x) then I put on my lowess smoother lines(lowess(x)) now I want to put on some 95% Confidence Interval bands of the lowess smoother, but don't know how??

hi: apologies for taking up everyone's time. my problem is probably documented somewhere, but I again cannot find it. (which reminds me: I cannot find a search engine that allows me to search the archives of this very useful mailing list.) * it seems that lines(lowess()) fails to plot certain line segments. (and, what does it do at the x-min and x-max of a data set?) Rather than

Can anyone explain to me what this error message means, why I'm getting it, and how to fix it? lines(lowess(xdat, ydat, f=.5), col=3) Error: NAs in foreign function call (arg 1) ______________________________________________________________________ Stuart Luppescu -=-=- University of Chicago ºÍʸ ¤ÈÃÒÆàÈþ¤ÎÉã(EUC) -=-=- s-luppescu at uchicago.edu

I'm using this code to plot a smoothed line. These two columns of data really represent 4 groups and I'd like to plot a separate line for each group but have them all in the same plot. The R-Docs for lowess do not seem to indicate some type of "GROUPS=var_name" option. What would be the syntax for this? plot(AWGT ~ lipid ) lines(lowess(lipid , AWGT, f=.8)) -- Dean

Hi there, I cant seem to find a way for the lowess smoothing function to handle "NA" values. Can anyone help?? Regards, Wayne Dr Wayne R.

Hi, I have a scatter plot of the variables GNI and Lifeexp (Gross National Income and Life Expectancy, both metric). So I plotted them and I want to add a regression line and a lowess line. I use lowess and not loess because I have missing values. My code: plot(GNI,Lifeexp) abline(lm(Lifeexp~GNI), col="red") y.loess<-loess(Lifeexp~GNI,na. action = na.exclude)

As I've mentioned a number of times. I find it very useful to have lowess() become a generic function so that a lowess.formula() can be defined. Below is a patch that makes both changes, as well as updating the corresponding help documentation. Gregory R.

Hi All, I've been providing a generic version of lowess() in my 'gregmisc' library, along with a 'lowess.formula' and 'lowess.default'.

I am trying to change the attributes of the lowess lines fit to an xyplot command, but have been unsuccessful in my search of the online help. Right now, both the points and lowess line come out in the same color (blue). I am unsure how I can change the properties of the lowess line separately. xyplot ( SnowLineElevation ~ Year | Model, data = data, ylim = c(0,1800), type =

Dear UseRs: Recently, I have read an article regarding the association between age and lymph node metastases. http://jco.ascopubs.org/content/27/18/2931.long In statistical analysis, the authors stated "Because a nonlinear relationship between age and lymph node involvement was expected based on existing literature, lymph node involvement was also regressed on age using nonparametric

Hi, I understand that the core of lowess() function is written in C. Is the C source code available and if yes, how can I get to it? I want to write a multidimensional extension of lowess() if you know of anybody who has implemented this already I would greatly appreciate any references or pointers. thank you very much, pawel

code: x <- rnorm(32) y <- rnorm(32) plot(x,y) lines(lowess(x,y),col='red') Now I need to sample the lowess function into matrix where one series will be X and other will be values of lowess at particular X. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-sample-lowess-loess-into-matrix-tp3053458p3053458.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Happy New Year, r-helpers! I am using lowess to smooth a scatter plot, xx<-lowess(xinput,f=.04) #defaults for other args followed by turnpoints(xx$y) #defaults for other args I plot the smoothed result as well as turnpoints (using yy$tppos) on top of raw data plot. Result is exactly as expected, graphically. For another purpose, I calcuate the difference between turnpoints (representing

Dear all, please do you have any recommendation about a more advanced function in R for lowess/loess regression ? the basics lowess() or loess() do not perform as well as I would expect. thanks very much, Bogdan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

beginner's mistake on my part. the fitted turned out to have negative values in it, so the logplot failed. apologies. it still would be nice to have more docs on lowess, but this has nothing to do with my question. regards, /iaw

Hi, I have some microarray data, cy5 and cy3 values are in log2. Is there a way to check they have undergone lowess normalization ? Thanks Stanley [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
