⚠️There's a newer version (2.3.0) of this package.Take me there.
Kernelheaping (version 1.5)
Kernel Density Estimation for Heaped and Rounded Data
Description
In self-reported or anonymised data the user often encounters
heaped data, i.e. data which are rounded (to a possibly different degree
of coarseness). While this is mostly a minor problem in parametric density
estimation the bias can be very large for non-parametric methods such as kernel
density estimation. This package implements a partly Bayesian algorithm treating
the true unknown values as additional parameters and estimates the rounding
parameters to give a corrected kernel density estimate. It supports various
standard bandwidth selection methods. Varying rounding probabilities (depending
on the true value) and asymmetric rounding is estimable as well. Additionally,
bivariate non-parametric density estimation for rounded data is supported.
