is about the smooth.spline function in the modreg package :
I would like to know if the value of *$lev is the eigen decomposition
of the smoother matrix or only the diagonal values of the smoother matrix ?
If second choice, how can I have the smoother matrix S defined by :
fitted vector = S %*% vector to be smoothed ?

You could answer it for yourself by looking at the help page(!):

     lev: leverages, the diagonal values of the smoother matrix.

or at the code. You can of course find the smoother matrix by predicting
some basis vectors, the absolutely standard technique in the smoothing
field.
