Kernel density estimation (KDE) and nonparametric methods form a cornerstone of contemporary statistical analysis. Unlike parametric approaches that assume a specific functional form for the ...
where K 0 (·) is a kernel function, is the bandwidth, n is the sample size, and x i is the i th observation. The KERNEL option provides three kernel functions (K 0): normal, quadratic, and triangular.
A kernel density curve may follow the shape of the distribution more closely. To construct a normal kernel density curve, one parameter is required: the bandwidth .The value of determines the degree ...
