vitale {bde}

Vitale generator method

Description

User friendly constructor method for Vitale objects.

Usage

vitale(dataPoints, m=round(length(dataPoints)^(2/5)), dataPointsCache=NULL, 
        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

m

a integer value indicating the order of the polynomial approximation. m must take values greater than 0

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

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
