rkde {ks}

Derived quantities from kernel density estimates

Description

Derived quantities from kernel density estimates.

Usage

 dkde(x, fhat)
 pkde(q, fhat)
 qkde(p, fhat)
 rkde(n, fhat, positive=FALSE) 

Arguments

x, q

vector of quantiles

p

vector of probabilities

n

number of observations

positive

flag to compute KDE on the positive real line. Default is FALSE.

fhat

kernel density estimate, object of class kde

Details

pkde uses the trapezoidal rule for the numerical integration. rkde uses Silverman (1986)'s method to generate a random sample from a KDE.

Value

For the 1-d kernel density estimate fhat, pkde computes the cumulative probability for the quantile q, qkde computes the quantile corresponding to the probability p.

For any kernel density estimate, dkde computes the density value at x (it is an alias for predict.kde), rkde computes a random sample of size n.

Examples

set.seed(8192)
x <- rnorm.mixt(n=10000, mus=0, sigmas=1, props=1)
fhat <- kde(x=x)
p1 <- pkde(fhat=fhat, q=c(-1, 0, 0.5))
qkde(fhat=fhat, p=p1)    
y <- rkde(fhat=fhat, n=100)

x <- rmvnorm.mixt(n=10000, mus=c(0,0), Sigmas=invvech(c(1,0.8,1)))
fhat <- kde(x=x)
y <- rkde(fhat=fhat, n=1000)
fhaty <- kde(x=y)
plot(fhat, col=1)
plot(fhaty, add=TRUE, col=2)
