[R] loess smoothing question

[Thomas L Jones]

I am trying to smooth a dataset with evenly spaced values of x, 
perhaps using loess smoothing or something similar. However, the y 
values are hypergeometrically distributed; I think I want to use a 
logarithmic link function. It falls under the general heading of 
non-parametric regression. The problem is of interest in predicting 
the demand at a voting place, in order to avoid long lines.

Questions: Should I use loess smoothing?
           Do I want a logarithmic link function? If so,
           How do I tell loess to use a logarithmic link function?
