... as would the loess predict() method do from a loess() fit in the base package.
I have used loess() for this purpose primarily to take advantage of its "robustness" capabilities. I hasten to add that the algorithm is not infallible in this regard, as it may not recover from a sufficiently bad set of (least squares)starting values, as ?loess explicitly says. It can also be slow. Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter Genentech Nonclinical Biostatistics (650) 467-7374 "Data is not information. Information is not knowledge. And knowledge is certainly not wisdom."
