R Documentation

Local Bayesian procedure for bandwidth selection

Description

The (S3) generic function hbay.fun computes the local Bayesian procedure for bandwidth selection.

Usage

hbay.fun(Vec, ...)
## Default S3 method:
hbay.fun(Vec, x = NULL, ...)

Arguments

Vec	The data sample from which the estimate is to be computed.
x	The points of the grid where the density is to be estimated.
...	Further arguments for (non-default) methods.

Details

hbay.fun implements the choice of the bandwidth h using the local Bayesian approach of a kernel density estimator.

Value

Returns the bandwidth selected using the local Bayesian procedure.
