Dear list, I would like to know it is possible to test the significance of a loess ; in other words, I would like to know if the loess I got is significantly different from a linear model. Thanks. Aurélie Coulon. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Dear Aur??lie, I think that for *fixed* (i.e. assumed known) amount of smoothing, you can use a simple LRT by comparing the two candidate models. BTW, have a look to the mgcv or gam packages for a general model-based approach. ----- Original Message ----- From: Aur??lie Coulon <coulon at toulouse.inra.fr> To: <r-help at stat.math.ethz.ch> Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 8:37 AM Subject: [R] loess significance Dear list, I would like to know it is possible to test the significance of a loess ; in other words, I would like to know if the loess I got is significantly different from a linear model.
