I'm working on Loess fit models using R, once I have the fit accomplished, I'm looking to back-out the equation of the fitted non-linear curve, wondering if there is a way to determine this equation in R? I've been looking but can't find any literature. For me, the graph of the function is great, but without the equation of the graph, I'm kinda dead in the water.
So you want a global equation from a procedure that does local fitting for each point? Maybe you should re-think your strategy. The points that form the graph _are_ the function. Maybe you should re-think your strategy. Perhaps you want spline fiting.
