similar to: Please make lowess() generic (was: Reorganization of packages in the R distribution)

I don't really see the point. lowess() is a two-dimensional smoother only so the main point would only be to allow lowess(y ~ x, dat) instead of lowess(dat$x, dat$y).

Hi, A lowess method is defined in our package for one of our S4 classes. To explicitely define the generic this is being used if (!isGeneric("lowess")) setGeneric("lowess", useAsDefault = lowess) This works fine for many other methods inherited from various R packages. In this case a warning is issued in R CMD check: * checking R code for possible problems ... NOTE

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, 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

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??

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)

code: x <- rnorm(32) y <- rnorm(32) plot(x,y) lines(lowess(x,y),col='red') Now I need to sample the lowess function into matrix where one series will be X and other will be values of lowess at particular X. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-sample-lowess-loess-into-matrix-tp3053458p3053458.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

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

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 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: apologies for taking up everyone's time. my problem is probably documented somewhere, but I again cannot find it. (which reminds me: I cannot find a search engine that allows me to search the archives of this very useful mailing list.) * it seems that lines(lowess()) fails to plot certain line segments. (and, what does it do at the x-min and x-max of a data set?) Rather than

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 Anupam Tyagi, You didn't include your data, so it's not possible to see exactly what happened, but I think that you misunderstand the object that loess() returns. It returns a "loess" object with several components, including the original data in x and y. So if pass the object to lines(), you'll simply connect the points, and if x isn't sorted, the points

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]]

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

Thanks, John. However, loess.smooth() is producing a very different curve compared to the one that results from applying predict() on a loess(). I am guessing they are using different defaults.
