discrete_kernel: Discrete kernel function

In kernopt: Estimating Count Data Distributions with Discrete Optimal Symmetric Kernel

Discrete kernel function

Description

Discrete kernel function

Usage

discrete_kernel(
  kernel = c("optimal", "triang", "epanech", "binomial"),
  x,
  z,
  h,
  k = NULL
)

Arguments

kernel	the type of kernel. Currently supported kernels are limited to: "optimal", "triang", "epanech" and "binomial"
x	the target point at which the density is calculated
z	the vector of observations
h	the bandwidth (or smoothing parameter)
k	Optional: the integer (positive) parameter that defined the support of the kernel function (corresponds to parameter 'a' for triangular kernel). It is only used for optimal and triangular kernel

Value

Returns the value of the associated kernel function

Examples

discrete_kernel(kernel = "optimal", x = 25, z = 1:50, h = 0.9, k = 20)
discrete_kernel(kernel = "triang", x = 25, z = 1:50, h = 10, k = 20)
discrete_kernel(kernel = "epanech", x = 25, z = 1:50, h = 20)
discrete_kernel(kernel = "binomial", x = 25, z = 1:50, h = 0.5)
