The package requires the installation of the following
packages: minpack.lm, VGAM, splines, stats4. Note that
the last two packages do not have to be installed when
you are working with a recent version of R (>=2.9). If

automatically loaded with the smoothtest package.
Otherwise they should first be downloaded from the R-project website.
Apple users may go to the “packages & data” menu and
select ``package installer’’. From here they may select
the packages from the ``CRAN (binaries)’’ list. Windows
users may also get it from the ``packages’’ menu: select
1) "Install Package", 2) if you have not yet set the
CRAN mirror website R will aks you to select a mirror
website close to you, 3) R will present a list of
packages from which you may select the required
packaged. R will install the packages automatically.
Once this is finished, you may proceed with the
installation of the smoothtest package as described
earlier on this page.
The smoothtest package also contains the help files. The most important R function is smooth.test. For help on this function, type
