Dear R People: in the function loess, how can one add the weight of the points which is contained in the variable "nbtotal" Data : Nbtotal P_alim H_eau xyplot(P_alim ~ H_eau, auto.key = list(points = T, lines = F),data = data, type = c("p", "smooth"), span=.2, scales = "free", layout = c(1, 1), main="", xlab="Hauteur d'eau (en m)", ylab="taux d'alimentation") the graph xyplot is not modified if the weights term is added xyplot(P_alim ~ H_eau, auto.key = list(points = T, lines = F),data = data, type = c("p", "smooth"), span=.2,weights=Nb_total, scales = "free", layout = c(1, 1), main="", xlab="Hauteur d'eau (en m)", ylab="taux d'alimentation") Thanks in advance, Alain ponsero
