spikes in contour and persp (PR#327)

The following matrix of normed likelihoods should give a smooth
surface but instead gives a series of spikes in both persp and contour
(the dim labels are the axes values). I know an algorithm cannot be
infallible but it would be nice to have some parameters to control the
smoothing. (It takes close to an hour to produce this matrix on a
Pentium II 300mh. It was after that that it crashed with the Inf in my
previous bug message...)

I am sorry, but I don't understand. contour does not do any
smoothing, but interpolates assuming smoothness.  The data
appears to me to be a series of spikes just off the diagonal, and not
what contour thinks of as a smooth surface.  It is common to 
interpolate the data from such a coarse grid before contouring.

persp just plots the data with visual linear interpolation.

If I do some interpolation

library(akima)
x <- as.numeric(rownames(like))
y <- as.numeric(colnames(like))
xx <- expand.grid(x=x, y=y)
like1 <- interp(xx$x, xx$y, like, seq(1.4, 1.8, len=50), seq(2.3, 2.8,
len=50))
contour(like1$x, like1$y,like1$z)

I get a slightly smoother result, but still five peaks.  (Are the
values for col=2.67 correct?)

I guess you need to evaluate this on a finer grid near the diagonal,
and probably adjust the coordinate system to get enough resolution
on the anti-diagonal.
