## Integrated Kernel density estimator

### Description

Classical univariate integrated kernel density estimator

### Usage

  IntKde(xin, xout, h, kfun)


### Arguments

 xin A vector of data points - the available sample size. xout grid points where the distribution function will be estimated. h The bandwidth parameter. Defaults to 3.572*σ*n^{-1/3} according to Bowman et al.(1998). kfun The kernel to use in the distribution function estimate.

### Details

It implements the classical density integrated kernel estimator.

Let X_1,X_2,…, X_n be a univariate independent and identically distributed sample drawn from some unknown distribution function F. Its kernel density estimator is

\hat{F}(x)= n^{-1}∑_{i=1}^n K≤ft \{ (x-X_i)h^{-1}\right \}

where K is an integrated kernel, and h > 0 is a smoothing parameter called the bandwidth.

### Value

Returns a vector with the estimate of the distribution function at the user specified grid points.
