Description: The algorithm presented in this report is designed for use in smoothing 3-D data at NUWES.  It uses fourth-order sequential differences to screen the data for outliers and then a special form of least-squares smoothing is performed to select an appropriate low-order polynomial and fit it to seven-pont data segments.
