Arguments

simpleTimeseries

- a minimal time-series including date, value, and if available total. If total is present the proportion is value/total. otherwise it is value.
degree

the polynomial degree
window

the data window in days
estimateMean

there is no closed form estimate of the mean of a logit transformed normal. it can be calculated by integration by this is relatively expensive and not done unless explicitly needed,
...

may include "nearestNeigbour=FALSE" to disable the tail behaviour of locfit

Value

a timeseries with binomial proportion estimates (columns starting with "Proportion")
