loessr

Robust loess smoothing.

Input Arguments:

• X, and Y are vectors containing the observed data.
• X0 is the domain over which to evaluate the smooth.
• ALPHA is the smoothing parameter, ranges between 0 and 1.
• DEG is the degree of the local fit. Use 1 for linear and 2 for quadratic.
• FLAG indicates whether or not the robust loess is used. FLAG = 1 indicates a robust loess. FLAG = 0 indicates regular loess.

Output Arguments:

• YHAT is the vector of fitted values.

Synopsis

YHAT = LOESSR(X,Y,XO,ALPHA,DEG)
