Loess Fit and Resulting Equation

I'm a developer up in Portland, OR. I'm wondering if anyone can assist: 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 ...

Extracting the fitted terms in the local polynomial function of a loess (in R) (NOT predict())

Hi all, How can I extract what the parameters that the loess function fitted for the polynomial function it uses, for a particular x of my data? For example, in: cars.lo <- loess(dist ~ speed, cars) cars.lo What did it fit for when cars.lo$x == 5 ? Update: I want the parameters of the polynomial function, not the prediction (pred...
