I think some of these let you manually set various parameters too to make it look right - if the OP follows my advice,tries to define smooth in terms of something data-relevant probably related to properties of derivatives, he will probably get to a point where he can have more parameters than data and can set these things to suite his imagination or artistic inclinations :) > Regards > Petr > ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
