surface | 
 should the 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   | 
iterations | 
 the number of iterations used in robust fitting.  | 
... | 
 further arguments which are ignored.  |
