[R] Locfit package (was Density Estimation)

[Jacob van Wyk]

Thank you for the response.
Indeed, my subject line was ill-specified. My apologies.
Yes, it seems as if "flim" should be "xlim"; also, I should have just
added the same to the plot call.

Please use an informative subject line.

Your reference is vague.  There have been many versions of locfit, and

quite a lot of code in earlier documentation no longer works,
especially 
that which precedes Loader's book.

library(locfit)
data(geyser)
fit.of <- locfit(~geyser,xlim=c(1,6),alpha=c(0.15,0.9))
plot(fit.of, get.data=TRUE, mpv=200, xlim=c(1,6))

works for me, and I got there from the help files.
