R help - Nov 2004 - Kernel Density estimation - locfit package

Hello there,

I am presently using the locfit package in "R" and would appreciate
some
help here. Could anyone tell me tell me how I can obtain the various
components (x and y values)of the density estimation after using the
"R"
command "locfit"? For example, with the command
"fhat<-density(somename)" I can obtain the x and y values by simply
calling "fhat$x" and "fhat$y". This doesn't seems to
work with the
"locfit" command.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Kwabena

On the ?locfit help page it says:

      An object with class '"locfit"'. A standard set of
methods for
      printing, ploting, etc. these objects is provided.

This implies that there should be a fitted.locfit method. And, indeed, 
there is:

data(ethanol)
x <- ethanol$E
fit <- locfit(~ x)
plot(x[order(x)], fitted(fit)[order(x)], type = "n")
