Scatter Plot with Smooth Curve Fitted by Loess

Description

Plot and add a smooth curve computed by loess to a scatter plot.

Usage

scatter.smooth(x, y, span = 2/3, degree = 1,
    family = c("symmetric", "gaussian"),
    xlab = deparse(substitute(x)), ylab = deparse(substitute(y)),
    ylim = range(y, prediction$y), evaluation = 50, ...)
loess.smooth(x, y, span = 2/3, degree = 1,
    family = c("symmetric", "gaussian"), evaluation=50, ...)

Arguments

x x coordinates for scatter plot.
y y coordinates for scatter plot.
span smoothness parameter for loess.
degree degree of local polynomial used.
family if "gaussian" fitting is by least-squares, and if family="symmetric" a re-descending M estimator is used.
xlab label for x axis.
ylab label for y axis.
ylim the y limits of the plot.
evaluation number of points at which to evaluate the smooth curve.
... graphical parameters.
