Continuous associated kernel function

Description

This function computes the discrete associated kernel function; see Chen (1999) and also Chen (2000).

Usage

kef(x, t, h, ker, a = 0, b = 1)

Arguments

x

The target.

t

A single value or the grid where the continuous associated kernel function is computed.

h

The bandwidth or smoothing parameter.

ker

The associated kernel: "BE" extended beta, "GA" gamma, "LN" lognormal and "RIG" reciprocal inverse Gaussian.

a

The left bound of the support used for extended beta kernel. Default value is 0 for beta kernel.

b

The right bound of the support used for extended beta kernel. Default value is 1 for beta kernel.

Details

The associated kernel is one of the four which have been defined in the sections above : extended beta, gamma, lognormal and reciprocal inverse Gaussian; see Igarashi and Kakizawa (2015) and also Libengué (2013).

Value

Returns the value of the discrete associated kernel function at t according to the target and the bandwidth.
