Set control parameters for loess fits.

surface | 
should be fitted surface be computed exactly or via interpolation from a kd tree? | 
statistics | 
should the statistics be computed exactly or approximately? Exact computation can be very slow. | 
trace.hat | 
should the trace of the smoother matrix be computed exactly or approximately? It is recommended to use the approximation for more than about 1000 data points. | 
cell | 
if interpolation is used this controls the accuracy of the
approximation via the maximum number of points in a  cell in the kd
tree. Cells with more than floor(n*span*cell) points are subdivided. | 
iterations | 
the number of iterations used in robust fitting. | 
... | 
further arguments which are ignored. |
