That would certainly help, haha.&nbsp; Thank you for catching that error.&nbsp;
Do you happen to know what exactly '~' means in R? 

Thanks again.

 Flip date and q in your formula, you've got them

    Yeah, I did look at the
help(loess) page, but I wasn't really sure what to do with that. &nbsp;I was
inputting it as:
    
    
&gt; test&lt;-loess(date ~ q,data.frame(date,q),span=0.5)
    
    
So I guess I'm inputting the formula wrong then? &nbsp;But from looking at
the help(formula) page, I still wasn't sure what it's looking for.
    
    
Thanks.
