Statistics.Sample.KernelDensity
Contents
Description
Kernel density estimation. This module provides a fast, robust, non-parametric way to estimate the probability density function of a sample.
This estimator does not use the commonly employed "Gaussian rule of thumb". As a result, it outperforms many plug-in methods on multimodal samples with widely separated modes.
Estimation functions
Arguments
| :: ( Vector v CD , Vector v Double , Vector v Int ) | |
| => Int |
The number of mesh points to use in the uniform discretization
of the interval
|
| -> v Double | |
| -> (v Double , v Double ) |
Gaussian kernel density estimator for one-dimensional data, using the method of Botev et al.
The result is a pair of vectors, containing:
-
The coordinates of each mesh point. The mesh interval is chosen
to be 20% larger than the range of the sample. (To specify the
mesh interval, use
kde_.) - Density estimates at each mesh point.
