Description: The proposed BASIC program for smoothing NUWES data uses the Least- Squares      Method to fit a polynomial to a 7-point data segment. It determines the best fitting      polynomial of order 1, 2, or 3 and establishes an estimate for the coordinate at the time in      the center of the data segment. It also establishes a Figure-of-Merit (FM) for that estimate.      This program is designed specifically for treatment of outliers and missing points but it can      also be used for smoothing of other observations. It is intended to be used as the basic      smoothing program for NUWES data and to provide a value of FM for each observation      time for feedback to the Instrumentation Department. Values of the FM's also provide      information for other users of the smoothed data on it's quality (i.e., how well the smoothed      values can be expected to represent the actual path of a vehicle).
