chen99Kernel {bde}

chen99Kernel generator method

Description

User friendly constructor method for Chen99Kernel objects.

Usage

chen99Kernel(dataPoints, b=length(dataPoints)^(-2/5), dataPointsCache=NULL, 
              modified = FALSE, lower.limit = 0, upper.limit = 1)

Arguments

dataPoints

a numeric vector containing data samples within the [lower.limit,upper.limit] interval. These data samples are used to obtain the kernel estimator

b

the bandwidth of the kernel estimator

dataPointsCache

a numeric vector containing points within the [lower.limit,upper.limit] interval. These points are used for convenience to cache density and distribution values. If dataPointsCache=NULL the values are initialized to a sequence of 101 equally spaced values from lower.limit to upper.limit

modified

if TRUE, the modified version of the kernel estimator is used

lower.limit

a numeric value for the lower limit of the bounded interval for the data

upper.limit

a numeric value for the upper limit of the bounded interval for the data. That is, the data is with the [lower.limit,upper.limit] interval
