evepan

half the range of the distribution, ie the distance from the mean to the smallest/largest value supported by the distribution. <code>r=5^.5</code> corresponds to a standard deviation of 1.

This function calculates the expected value of a random left-censored epanechnikov-distributed variable with a given censoring point.
The inverse of this function is <code>cepan</code>.

Analyzing censored variables usually requires the use of optimization algorithms. This package provides an alternative algebraic approach to the task of determining the expected value of a random censored variable with a known censoring point. Likewise this approach allows for the determination of the censoring point if the expected value is known. These results are derived under the assumption that the variable follows an Epanechnikov kernel distribution with known mean and range prior to censoring. Statistical functions related to the uncensored Epanechnikov distribution are also provided by this package.
