What is `s` in the output of the `loess` function in R? The coefficient of determination?

The documentation does not detail the ouput of the function

model <- loess(cyl ~ disp, data = mtcars)
model$s
[1] 0.5679605

EDIT : s is the Residual Standard Error apparently

Solution

  • According to the object definition, it's the the residual standard error for the model.
