supsmu is a running lines smoother which chooses between three
spans for the lines. The running lines smoothers are symmetric, with
k/2 data points each side of the predicted point, and values of
k as 0.5 * n, 0.2 * n and 0.05 * n, where
n is the number of data points. If span is specified,
a single smoother with span span * n is used.
The best of the three smoothers is chosen by cross-validation for each prediction. The best spans are then smoothed by a running lines smoother and the final prediction chosen by linear interpolation.
The FORTRAN code says: “For small samples (n < 40) or if
there are substantial serial correlations between observations close
in x-value, then a pre-specified fixed span smoother (span >
0) should be used. Reasonable span values are 0.2 to 0.4.”
Cases with non-finite values of x, y or wt are
dropped, with a warning.
