loess.sd(x, y = NULL, nsigma = 1, ...)

panel.loess(x, y, col = par("col"), bg = NA, pch = par("pch"), cex = 1, 
            col.smooth = "red", span = 2/3, degree = 2, nsigma = 1, ...) 

Arguments

x

a vector of values for the predictor variable x.

y

a vector of values for the response variable y.

nsigma

a multiplier for the standard deviation function.

col, bg, pch, cex

numeric or character codes for the color(s), point type and size of points; see also par.

col.smooth

color to be used by lines for drawing the smooths.

span

smoothing parameter for loess.

degree

the degree of the polynomials to be used, see loess.

...

further argument passed to the function loess.

Value

The function loess.sd computes the loess smooth for the mean function and the mean plus and minus k times the standard deviation function.

The function panel.loess can be used to add to a scatterplot matrix panel a smoothing of mean function using loess with variability bands at plus and minus nsigmas times the standard deviation.
