Hns: Normal scale bandwidth

Description

Normal scale bandwidth.

Usage

Hns(x, deriv.order=0)
hns(x, deriv.order=0)

Arguments

x

vector/matrix of data values

deriv.order

derivative order

Value

• Full normal scale bandwidth matrix.

Details

Hns is equal to (4/(n*(d+2*r+2)))^(2/(d+2*r+4))*var(x), n = sample size, d = dimension of data, r = derivative order. hns is the analogue of Hns for 1-d data.
