My data looks like this:
Or if displayed in log chart:
I want to create an interpolation of the data that would remove most of the noise.
What are some good ways to plot a smooth curve through this data?

Using Quantile regression might produce results you want -- you have to experiment with the number of knots or the knots locations.
Get data:
Get["https://pastebin.com/raw/n59CTB3L"];
data = plota1;
Dimensions[data]
Get the package QuantileRegression.m:
Import["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/antononcube/MathematicaForPrediction/master/QuantileRegression.m"]
Quantile regression application:
knots = 400;
qFunc = First@
QuantileRegression[data, knots, {0.5},
Method -> {LinearProgramming, Tolerance -> 10^(-7)}];
Plot data and regression quantile in Log-Log scales:
Show[{
ListLogLogPlot[data, PlotRange -> All, PlotTheme -> "Detailed",
PlotStyle -> GrayLevel[0.8]],
ListLogLogPlot[{#, qFunc[#]} & /@ data[[All, 1]], Joined -> True]},
ImageSize -> 800,
PlotLabel -> Row[{"QuantileRegression with ", knots, " knots"}]]

$\begingroup$ is there any way to make it find the required number of knots automatically? $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 18, 2017 at 15:51

1$\begingroup$ Hm... that is in my TODO list for that package. It is not a simple question, several heuristics can be applied that work well in relatively narrow cases. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 18, 2017 at 16:40

$\begingroup$ Another question. Is there any way I can give different points different weights? $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 21, 2017 at 11:37

$\begingroup$ I am not sure what you mean, but maybe adding multiple copies of the points you want to have more of an impact can produce results you want. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 21, 2017 at 13:05

If I look at the data I would expect a constant value for increasing x-values. So the approximation could be something with Exp[-...t],for example
NonlinearModelFit[plota1,a0 - a1 Exp[-\[Alpha]1 t] - a2 t Exp[-\[Alpha]2 t] , {a0, a1,a2 , \[Alpha]1, \[Alpha]2 }, t]
Show[{ListPlot[plota1],Plot[Normal[%], {t, Min[plota1[[All, 1]]], Max[plota1[[All,1]]]},PlotRange -> All]}]
gives this result

$\begingroup$ good solution. But in log, the curve falls too slowly, and than rises too slowly (you can see that it misses a cluster of points near 50, and than another huge chunk at around 500) $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 17, 2017 at 16:12

$\begingroup$ @ Arsen Zahray: Are you looking for a final approximation in Log-space? Please give some information concerning the related problem. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 17, 2017 at 16:20

$\begingroup$ yes, I'm looking at the data in the log scale. as you can see on the chart, there is some activity in the beginning, than it subsides and for the most part of the observation, nothing really is happening $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 17, 2017 at 16:54
ListConvolve[ConstantArray[1, 23]/23, plota1[[All, 2]]]. $\endgroup$
