Greetings and happy new year!
I am in the process of converting some of the old S-PLUS scripts from
Visualizing Data (Cleveland, 1993)
into lattice. In fact, I did most of it several years ago, and at the time,
all of the scripts that contained
loess() worked fine. Tonight, I ran most of the scripts again, but every one
that I tried with a
loess() call crashed R. I tried it in two sessions, one with an existing
.Rdata and in another
directory without one. The call below, isolated from its script, is one of
the culprits:
with(ethanol, loess(NOx ~ C * E, span = 1/3, degree = 2,
parametric = "C", drop.square = "C", family="s"))
In response to the Posting Guide, when I say 'crash' I mean that the system
abnormally terminated
R when this line or any other one that invokes loess() is run. I'm running
the binary version of 2.10.1
on a Dell Studio 15 with Windows 7 Home Premium.
This is the first time I've ever experienced something like this in the
decade that I've used R. What's
more surprising is that it occurred with such a common function. Since I
haven't seen any postings
of this type, it's probably something on my end, but I don't know what.
Since it shut down the
program, I felt compelled to report it.
I am subscribed to r-help but not r-devel, so please cc any response to me.
Thanks in advance for
any assistance.
