locfit (version 19980714-2)

locfit: Local Regression, Likelihood and Density Estimation.

Usage

locfit(formula, data, weights, cens, base, subset, geth, ..., lfproc)

Arguments

formula
Model Formula; e.g. y~x for a regression model; ~x for a density estimation model
data
Data Frame.
weights
Prior weights (or sample sizes) for individual observations. This is typically used where observations have unequal variance.
cens
Censoring indicator. 1 (or TRUE) denotes a censored observation. 0 (or FALSE) denotes uncensored.
base
Baseline for local fitting. For local regression models, specifying a base is equivalent to using y-base as the reponse. But base also works for local likelihood.
subset
Subset observations in the data frame.
geth
Don't use.
...
Other arguments to locfit.raw() (or the lfproc).
lfproc
A processing function to compute the local fit. Default is locfit.raw(). Other choices include locfit.robust(), locfit.censor() and locfit.quasi().

Value

  • An object with class "locfit". A standard set of methods for printing, ploting, etc. these objects is provided. locfit() is a model-formula based front end to locfit.raw().
