   Hi,
   I used loess( ) to build a model that has 5 predictors using R of Wndows

   version. And it tells me that there is an unknown error. If I decrease
   the number of predictors, then there will be no error. My questions are:

   1. Can loess( ) handle more than 4 predictors.
   2. If it can not, is there any other smoothing regression technique that

   can handle more predictors.

   Any comment will be very helpful to me. Thank you in advance!


   Edwin
