kerdiest (version 1.2)

kerdiest-package: Nonparametric kernel estimation of the distribution. Bandwidth selection methods and estimation of related functions.

Description

Nonparametric kernel distribution function estimation for continuous random variables is performed. Three automatic bandwidth selection procedures for nonparametric kernel distribution function estimation are implemented: the plug-in method of Altman and Leger, the plug-in method of Polansky and Baker, and the modified cross-validation method of Bowman, Hall and Prvan. The exceedance function, the mean return period and the return level are also computed.
