maLoess

Stratified univariate robust local regression


Description

This function performs robust local regression of a variable y on predictor variable x, separately within values of a third variable z. It is used by maNormLoess for intensity dependent location normalization.

Usage

maLoess(x, y, z, w=NULL, subset=TRUE, span=0.4, ...)

Arguments

x

A numeric vector of predictor variables.

y

A numeric vector of responses.

z

Variables used to stratify the data.

w

An optional numeric vector of weights.

subset

A "logical" or "numeric" vector indicating the subset of points used to compute the fits.

span

The argument span which controls the degree of smoothing in the loess function.

...

Misc arguments.

Details

y is regressed on x, separately within values of z using the loess function.

Value

A numeric vector of fitted values.
