discrete_triang: Discrete triangular kernel

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

Discrete triangular kernel

Description

Discrete triangular kernel

Usage

discrete_triang(x, z, h, a)

Arguments

x	the target point at which the density is calculated
z	the vector of observations
h	the bandwidth (or smoothing parameter)
a	the integer (positive) parameter that defined the support of the kernel function

Value

Returns the value of the associated kernel function according to the target x and the bandwidth h.

Examples
