The enclosed file contains S-PLUS functions and the data set used in Section 3 of the paper in the form of an S-PLUS dump file. These can be input into S-PLUS using the data.restore function. The functions can be used to determine the AIC_C-based smoothing parameters for loess and smoothing spline regression estimators.
