| lf {locfit} | R Documentation |
This function is used to specify a smooth term in a gam()
model formula.
This function is designed to be used with the S-Plus
gam() function. For R users, there are at least two different
gam() functions available. Most current distributions of R
will include the mgcv library by Simon Wood; lf()
is not compatable with this function.
On CRAN, there is a gam package by Trevor Hastie, similar to
the S-Plus version. lf() should be compatable with this, although
it's untested.
