width.SJ {MASS} | R Documentation |
Uses the method of Sheather & Jones (1991) to select the bandwidth of a Gaussian kernel density estimator.
width.SJ(x, nb = 1000, lower, upper, method = c("ste", "dpi"))
x |
a numeric vector |
nb |
number of bins to use. |
upper, lower |
range over which to search for solution if method = "ste" .
|
method |
Either "ste" ("solve-the-equation") or "dpi"
("direct plug-in").
|
a bandwidth.
