Method Detail

density

public double density(double delta)

Description copied from interface: KernelDensityFunction

Density contribution of a point at the given relative distance delta >= 0.

Note that for delta < 0, in particular for delta < 1, the results may become invalid. So usually, you will want to invoke this as:

kernel.density(Math.abs(delta))

Specified by:

density in interface KernelDensityFunction

Parameters:

delta - Relative distance

Returns:

density contribution

canonicalBandwidth

public double canonicalBandwidth()

Description copied from interface: KernelDensityFunction

Get the canonical bandwidth for this kernel.

Note: R uses a different definition of "canonical bandwidth", and also uses differently scaled kernels.

Specified by:

canonicalBandwidth in interface KernelDensityFunction

Returns:

Canonical bandwidth

standardDeviation

public double standardDeviation()

Description copied from interface: KernelDensityFunction

Get the standard deviation of the kernel function.

Specified by:

standardDeviation in interface KernelDensityFunction

Returns:

Standard deviation

getR

public double getR()

Description copied from interface: KernelDensityFunction

Get the R integral of the kernel, \int K^2(x) dx

TODO: any better name for this?

Specified by:

getR in interface KernelDensityFunction

Returns:

R value
