//Mark a flag, go to a cleanup step

For example, the \ref apop_kernel_density model is built by adding a \ref apop_kernel_density_settings group. From the example on the \ref apop_kernel_density page:

\code
apop_model *k2 = apop_model_set_settings(apop_kernel_density,
                    .base_data=d,
                    .set_fn = set_uniform_edges,
                    .kernel = apop_uniform);
\endcode

The name of the model and the settings group to be built must match, which is the case
for many model transformations, including \ref apop_dconstrain and \ref apop_cross. If the names do not match, use \ref apop_model_copy_set.

		fitting variables. The method of specification is the same as
		for parametric.  Default is a vector of 0's of length p.

\c .lo_s.model.family: the assumed distribution of the errors. The values may be 
        <tt>"gaussian"</tt> or <tt>"symmetric"</tt>. The first value is the default.
        If the second value is specified, a robust fitting procedure is used.

\c lo_s.control.surface:	determines whether the fitted surface is computed
        <tt>"directly"</tt> at all points  or whether an <tt>"interpolation"</tt>
        method is used. The default, interpolation, is what most users should use
		unless special circumstances warrant.

\c lo_s.control.statistics:	determines whether the statistical quantities are 
    computed <tt>"exactly"</tt> or approximately, where <tt>"approximate"</tt>
    is the default. The former should only be used for testing the approximation in
    statistical development and is not meant for routine usage because computation
    time can be horrendous.

    \c lo_s.control.cell: if interpolation is used to compute the surface,
    this argument specifies the maximum cell size of the k-d tree. Suppose k =
    floor(n*cell*span) where n is the number of observations.  Then a cell is
    further divided if the number of observations within it is greater than or
    equal to k. default=0.2

\c lo_s.control.trace_hat: Options are <tt>"approximate"</tt>, <tt>"exact"</tt>, and <tt>"wait.to.decide"</tt>.	
    When lo_s.control.surface is <tt>"approximate"</tt>, determines
    the computational method used to compute the trace of the hat
    matrix, which is used in the computation of the statistical
    quantities.  If "exact", an exact computation is done; normally
    this goes quite fast on the fastest machines until n, the number
    of observations is 1000 or more, but for very slow machines,
    things can slow down at n = 300.  If "wait.to.decide" is selected,
    then a default is chosen in loess();  the default is "exact" for
    n < 500 and "approximate" otherwise.  If surface is "exact", an
    exact computation is always done for the trace. Set trace_hat to
    "approximate" for large dataset will substantially reduce the
    computation time.

\c lo_s.model.iterations:	if family is <tt>"symmetric"</tt>, the number of iterations 
    of the robust fitting method.  Default is 0 for
    lo_s.model.family = gaussian; 4 for family=symmetric.

    That's all you can set. Here are some output parameters:

\c fitted_values:	fitted values of the local regression model

\c fitted_residuals:	residuals of the local regression fit

   \c  enp:		equivalent number of parameters.

   \c  s:		estimate of the scale of the residuals.

   \c  one_delta:	a statistical parameter used in the computation of standard errors.

   \c  two_delta:	a statistical parameter used in the computation of standard errors.

   \c  pseudovalues:	adjusted values of the response when robust estimation is used.

\c trace_hat:	trace of the operator hat matrix.

   \c  diagonal:	diagonal of the operator hat matrix.

   \c  robust:		robustness weights for robust fitting.

   \c  divisor:	normalization divisor for numeric predictors.
