Hi Every Body, I don't know why some regression functions have no related prediction function. For example lowess, loess, lokerns, lpridge, lpepa, and ksmooth. What could help? Is there any global or wrapper function so that can help? Regards, Amir Safari --------------------------------- [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi there, Just out of curious, is there any difference between loess() and lowess() in R (and Splus in fact). Which one is more often used?

Hi folks. If I have the following in my "data" event pH1 pH2 1 4.0 6.0 2 4.3 5.9 3 4.1 6.1 4 4.0 5.9 and on and on..... for about 400 events Is there a way I can get R to plot event vs. pH1 and event vs. pH2 and then do a loess or lowess line for each?? Thanks in advance David [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello Masters, I run the loess() function to obtain local weighted regressions, given lowess() can't handle NAs, but I don't improve significantly my situation......, actually loess() performance leave me much puzzled.... I attach my easy experiment below #------SCRIPT---------------------------------------------- #I explore the functionalities of lowess() & loess() #because I have

Hi, all, I want to use lowess(x, y) where x and y are vectors of length of 4000+. In fact, x and y are log of some vectors. So, some of the elements are NaN. lowess() can not take away those elements then do the fitting. It will give the error message and do nothing. 1. Can anybody tell me how to get rid of those NaN's and use lowess()? 2. How to get the LOWESS fitting values for any

As I've mentioned a number of times. I find it very useful to have lowess() become a generic function so that a lowess.formula() can be defined. Below is a patch that makes both changes, as well as updating the corresponding help documentation. Gregory R.

Hi, I have a scatter plot of the variables GNI and Lifeexp (Gross National Income and Life Expectancy, both metric). So I plotted them and I want to add a regression line and a lowess line. I use lowess and not loess because I have missing values. My code: plot(GNI,Lifeexp) abline(lm(Lifeexp~GNI), col="red") y.loess<-loess(Lifeexp~GNI,na. action = na.exclude)

Colleagues ---------------------------------- System info: R version rw1022 on NT ESS v. 5.1.18 using emacs ver. 20.4 ---------------------------------- I would like to access the residuals from a lowess fit (function lowess() ) as an aid to assessing whether I am over-smoothing or under-smoothing a dataset (as in Cleveland's book "Visualizing data", section 3.3) Unless I

Hi there, I'm plotting some glass RI values just by plotting plot(x) then I put on my lowess smoother lines(lowess(x)) now I want to put on some 95% Confidence Interval bands of the lowess smoother, but don't know how??

Dear all, please do you have any recommendation about a more advanced function in R for lowess/loess regression ? the basics lowess() or loess() do not perform as well as I would expect. thanks very much, Bogdan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi All, I've been providing a generic version of lowess() in my 'gregmisc' library, along with a 'lowess.formula' and 'lowess.default'. Can/should these be moved into base? -Greg LEGAL NOTICE Unless expressly stated otherwise, this message is confidential and may be privileged. It is intended for the addressee(s) only.

Hi there, I cant seem to find a way for the lowess smoothing function to handle "NA" values. Can anyone help?? Regards, Wayne Dr Wayne R.

I'm using this code to plot a smoothed line. These two columns of data really represent 4 groups and I'd like to plot a separate line for each group but have them all in the same plot. The R-Docs for lowess do not seem to indicate some type of "GROUPS=var_name" option. What would be the syntax for this? plot(AWGT ~ lipid ) lines(lowess(lipid , AWGT, f=.8)) -- Dean

I am trying to change the attributes of the lowess lines fit to an xyplot command, but have been unsuccessful in my search of the online help. Right now, both the points and lowess line come out in the same color (blue). I am unsure how I can change the properties of the lowess line separately. xyplot ( SnowLineElevation ~ Year | Model, data = data, ylim = c(0,1800), type =

Dear all, To draw a lowess line on a plot was a piece of cake; to draw a loess line, however, seems not that easy. Is the loess plotting implemented at all in relation to the loess function, or do I have to look in add-on packages? Thanks, Marcin

Hi, I understand that the core of lowess() function is written in C. Is the C source code available and if yes, how can I get to it? I want to write a multidimensional extension of lowess() if you know of anybody who has implemented this already I would greatly appreciate any references or pointers. thank you very much, pawel

Dear R-community, maybe someone can help me with this: I've been using the loess() smoother for quite a while now, and for the matter of documentation I'd like to resolve the acronym LOESS. Unfortunately there's no explanation in the help file, and I didn't get anything convincing from google either. I know that the predecessor LOWESS stands for "Locally Weighted

I was trying to plot some data in R. I used the following code to draw a loess fit and got the output as >?lines(lowess(log(abs(t(res))), log(abs(t(synthesised)))), col="red") Error in lowess(log(abs(t(res))), log(abs(t(synthesised)))) :?? NA/NaN/Inf in foreign function call (arg 1) Then I thought to use your Limma package for background correction. Do you think it's a right

For some reason the following code is not plotting as I want it to. I want to plot a "loess" line plotted over a scatter plot. I get a jumble, with lines connecting all the points. I had a similar problem with "lowess". I solved that by dropping "NA" rows from the data columns. Please help. library(stats) attach(gini_pci_wdi_narm) plot(ny_gnp_pcap_pp_kd, si_pov_gini)

beginner's mistake on my part. the fitted turned out to have negative values in it, so the logplot failed. apologies. it still would be nice to have more docs on lowess, but this has nothing to do with my question. regards, /iaw
