% Computes and plots the -2*AIC
% for local fits with different smoothing parameters.

% The first argument to aicplot(), alpha, should be a matrix with one
% or two columns (first column = nearest neighbor component, second
% column = constant component). Each row of this matrix is, in turn,
% passed as the 'alpha' argument to aic() (and locfit()). The results
% are stored in a matrix, and aic score ploted against the degrees of
% freedom.
