## --- New Zealand General Election Polling ---
##
## Plots polling data scraped from Wikipedia.
##
## - GAM -
##
## The smoothed curves are calculated using a generalised additive model (GAM).  The
## smoothing parameter is estimated using cross-validation. This means that the curves
## are estimated based on subsets of the data, and the parameter that best predicts
## the hold-out data is chosen. Note that the error bounds are based on the assumption
## that the smoothing parameter is correct, i.e. uncertainty in the smoothing parameter
## estimate are not accounted for.
##
## A separate smoothed curve is estimated for each combination of polling firm and party
## (the election is treated as a poll and given more weight than the opinion polls). The
## shape of the curves for each party is constrained to be the same for every polling firm,
## although they can be vertically offset from each other. The displayed curve is aligned
## so that it passes through the election result, but in the interactive version you can
## see the offset curves for each polling outfit.
##
## - SVG -
##
## The svg graphics format allows interactivity via Javascript.  Note that the
## SVGAnnotation library comes from http://www.bioconductor.org/ rather that
## the CRAN repositories.  This requires Cairo to be available (use
## capabilities("cairo") to check this).
