R help - Feb 2006 - locpoly

Dear R Users,
  When using locpoly function, number of output values is smaller than the
number of input values. How is it possible to get number of output component $y
equal to the number of inputs.
  Thanks a lot,
  Amir

You could use linear interpolation on its outputs, e.g.

x <- runif(20)
y <- x^2 + rnorm(20)

fit <- locpoly(x, y, bandwidth=0.3)
fitfn <- approxfun(fit$x, fit$y)
yhat <- fitfn(x)

... Or use something that has a predict() method; e.g., locfit() in the
`locfit' package.
