Hi David

if you go

library(locfit)
? panel.locfit
The function will do contour/wireframe like plots using par.settings of region as well as normal 2D plots I could not get panel.locfit to work using par.settings and created my own panel function as panel.Locfit
at the time I did not think that I would be putting it on the web.
(I knew it would be confusing to some but forgot to change the name. [its been a long week]).

In the first instance I wanted a panel function to produce confidence bands which I cobbled up, but then wanted lines in another situation.

Hi ilai

Thank you for your advice I think I can now get what I need from
what you have said here.
I think I may have to get involved in packet.number but the original
packet.number with its arguments has stuck in my mind and I have not
used it.
I find locfit better than loess etc for a lot of the data I work with.

I'm a bit puzzled by this exchange. I know there is a 'panel.locfit',
but you two are spelling it differently. Can you explain why you are
doing so?

No documentation for 'panel.Locfit' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try '??panel.Locfit'

Locfit panel function

Description

This panel function can be used to add locfit fits to plots generated
by trellis.


I am trying to construct a function/s to cover as many of the normal
situations as possible.
Usually I have to amend colours lines etc to distinguish the data.

I want to cover a number of situations
1 Conditioned by panel no groups
2 Conditioned by panel and groups.
3 Multiple values for above - to show colleagues (EDA)
4 Conditioned by panel and groups + an overall fit for all the data
within a panel
5 Several y values in a panel eg Y1+Y2 and outer = FALSE with a fit
for each of Y1 and Y2

I am trying to cover as many of the above situations in 1 function
before resulting to trellis.focus or
overlaying. The graphs that I normally create are not simple,
generally involving useOuterStrips
which may have different y scales for panel rows (combindeLimits/ manual) and different panel row heights.

locfit is like loess but 2 arguments for smoothing; the degree of
smoothing produced by the defaults
is approximately that of loess but I normally need less smoothing
(the same would be apply for loess).

Most of the questions to Rhelp are for 1 with just a small number
for 5 and they are not applicable here
and understanding the requirements for passing arguments in these
different situations I find difficult.
I would like to reduce the number of panel functions to the minimum
to cover the general situaltions because
my graphs are usually not normal and then add to them for a
particular situation.

Regards

Duncan

Duncan,
First off, I admit it is not clear to me what you are trying to
achieve and more importantly, why? by "why" I mean 1) I don't see the
advantage of writing one general panel function for completely
different situations (one/multiple smoothers, grouping levels etc.)
2)
your intended result as I understand it seems rather cluttered,
google
<chartjunk>. 3) I am unfamiliar with locfit package, but are we
reinventing the wheel here ? i.e. will modifying settings in xyplot(y
~x, xx, groups = Farm, type=c('p','smooth')) achieve the same ?

With your initial reproducible example (thank you) it was easy to
eliminate the errors, but clearly the resulting plots are not what
you
intended (continue inline):

Yes you could. There are several options:
add group.number to the arguments of panel.locfit and use it to make
nn a vector, along the lines of
   panel.foo <- function(x,y,group.number,theta,...){
     smpar <- theta[group.number]
     panel.loess(x,y,smpar,...)
     panel.xyplot(x,y,...)
   }
xyplot (y ~ x ,xx ,group =Farm,theta=c(4,1,.4),panel=panel.superpose,panel.groups=panel.foo)

# or
xyplot(y~x|Farm,xx,group=Padd,theta=c(.6,1),
   panel=panel.superpose,panel.groups=panel.foo)

Here you will need to modify the Farm group to 6 levels - 3*two
smoothers.

You could make nn a list and loop over it inside the panel function.
Looks like you tried something like that with specifying 2
panel.Locfit, one suggestion to your code:

                    panel.Locfit(x,y,...) # default 0.7
                       panel.Locfit(x,y,nn=0.9)   # i.e. remove the
... to avoid clashes

Finally, use ?trellis.focus to plot the second smoother "post-hoc".
also the latticeExtra package has many useful tools to create layers
of the same (or different) plot with different settings.

Why does it matter ? seems you have failed to learn the lesson from
the first post - the same functionality applies to 1 as to multiple
panels. Does each panel have a different grouping structure ? use
packet.number() for panels similar to group.number idea.

than expand the xlim,ylim or scales in ?xyplot

Like I said I am a little lost on this problem but I hope this helps
giving some direction.
Cheers
