[R] Loess fitting with bisquare

[Greg Snow]

The loess function in R uses the tricube weights that are described in my copy of Cleveland, so that may do what you want.  If you really want to do the same general idea but with a different weight function, then it is not that hard to write your own function to do the estimating (but I doubt that you will see much improvement over the standard loess function).
