##### Set Parameters for Loess

Set control parameters for loess fits.

Keywords
smooth, loess
##### Usage
loess.control(surface = c("interpolate", "direct"), statistics = c("approximate", "exact"), trace.hat = c("exact", "approximate"), cell = 0.2, iterations = 4, ...)
##### Arguments
surface
should the fitted surface be computed exactly or via interpolation from a kd tree? Can be abbreviated.
statistics
should the statistics be computed exactly or approximately? Exact computation can be very slow. Can be abbreviated.
trace.hat
should the trace of the smoother matrix be computed exactly or approximately? It is recommended to use the approximation for more than about 1000 data points. Can be abbreviated.
cell
if interpolation is used this controls the accuracy of the approximation via the maximum number of points in a cell in the kd tree. Cells with more than floor(n*span*cell) points are subdivided.
iterations
the number of iterations used in robust fitting.
...
further arguments which are ignored.
