it is frequently mentioned that loess is computationally expensive. this is a bit unscientific. it would be nice to have either asymptotic complexities (big o), or specific examples of problem sizes/computations.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.124.26.250 (talk) 14:24, 5 September 2007
[edit] Copyright warning
Much of the introduction is taken word-for-word from the [NIST page]. I'm not sure if this is a copyright problem or not, since the NIST site seems to be a Federal government publication (there is no copyright notice). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.142.169.66 (talk) 17:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, that is the whole point of the {{NIST-PD}} at the bottom of the page, which produces

[edit] LOESS or loess?
Cleveland named his method "loess", not "LOESS"; the name is not an acronym, but a reference to the geologic material (cf. the cited articles). I see that the NIST page writes it in all caps, but I believe this is erroneous. This wikipedia article is currently a bit inconsistent, writing it "LOESS" some places and "loess" others. Is there any reason not to edit all instances to lower-case? Thomas Tvileren (talk) 15:24, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
