Is anyone familiar with the code to Tibshirani's AVAS function? For example,
what do the different subroutines like rlsmo.r and smother() do?

I was hoping to modify the code slightly to fit my problem:

h(y)=x+g1(x)+g2(z)+error

Clearly, I could combine x+g1(x)=g3(x) and estimate it using AVAS.
Unfortunately, I need
g1(.) to be monotonic, not just g3(.). Since, I already know the coefficient
on x (unity), I want to just subtract this off and include it in the
back-fitting.
