derivatives from loess (not locpoly)?
2 messages · J S, Brian Ripley
Not easily. Unlike locpoly (in KernSmooth, uncredited), loess uses a locally varying bandwidth and that would need to be taken into account in determining the derivative. The underlying Fortran code does not have any support for this.

is there a way of estimating derivative curves, similar to the ones we get from 'locpoly', from 'loess' estimation.
i am interested in estimation of 1st and 2nd derivatives...
