R help - Feb 2011 - tri-cube and gaussian weights in loess

>From what I understand, loess in R uses the standard tri-cube function.
SAS/INSIGHT offers loess with Gaussian weights. Is there a function in R
that does the same?

Also, can anyone offer any references comparing properties between tri-cube
and Gaussian weights in LOESS?

Thanks. - Andr?

Locfit() in the locfit package has a slightly more modern implementation of
loess, and is much more flexible in that it has a lot of options to tweak.  One
such option is the kernel.  There are seven to choose from.
