Savitzky-Golay smoothing for reflectance data

Hi,
	Quote:

	"The Savitzky-Golay smoothing turns out to be exactly equivalent to fitting
data to a polynomial as described" (Skoog, Holler and Nieman, Principles of
Instrumental Analysis, pp 111)

	While R is not a tool for instrumental analysis, I am sure you can find
smoothing methods that will suit your problem in R (there are plenty of
them). There is a thread on this topic on this from March 2003 where Andy
Liaw points to the KernSmooth package.

Subject: [R] Savitzky-Golay smoothing for reflectance data


I got a question from a fellow PhD student that work with spectrum
analysis in Excel and now he has lots of spectrums that needs to be
smoothed, which would be nice to be able to do in batch.

Is there an R package that can do:

Savitzky-Golay smoothing for reflectance spectral data

or a function that does something similar.
