I have 3 sets of Cartesian data, one is 'original' data and the other
2 are "smoothed"data. The smoothed data is the result of applying a
smoothing algorithm to the original.One set of smoothed data is the
'old' algorithm and the other set is the 'new' algorithm.

Does R have the capability of telling me which data is "smoother"?

Example data (subsets of entire data set):

original:
61	1.419584402
62	1.487019923
63	1.436887012
64	1.39522855
65	1.455934713
66	1.51774951
67	1.603945531
68	1.67847891
69	1.559326003
70	1.57563213
71	1.591873853

old smoothed:
61	1.337874627
62	1.391745721
63	1.387506435
64	1.382959722
65	1.413494505

69	1.474782643
70	1.474782643
71	1.500106199

new smoothed:
