locfit questions/problems

Just replacing preplot() with predict() should be fine.

BTW, it's always a good idea to specify the version of the package
you're using as well.

Hi,

I'm trying to work through the examples and code in Loader's
LOCAL REGRESSION AND LIKELIHOOD, and have run into a problem
with the code for one sided smoothing and change point analysis
(p. 110-112).

The code, after loading locfit:

midp<-(1945:1988)+0.5
fitl<-locfit(thickness~left(year), data=penny, alpha=c(0,10), 
deg=1, ev=midp)
fitr<-locfit(thickness~right(year),data=penny, alpha=c(0,10), 
deg=1, ev=midp)
plot((preplot(fitr)-preplot(fitl))^2, type="b")

the error message crops up after the plot command and is:

Error in preplot(fitr) - preplot(fitl) :
  non-numeric argument to binary operator

looking at preplot(fitr0 and preplot(fitl) shows a list with 
numeric values.

Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?  I'm using R 
2.7.1 on a
Windows XP machine with Service pack 2.

best and thanks, Mark Hall

PS--a similar error case occurs using R 2.3.1 and 2.5.1
