In rddensity: Manipulation Testing Based on Density Discontinuity

Internal function, calculates theoretical optimal bandwidth.

Description

h_opt_density calculates theoretical optimal bandwidth.

Usage

h_opt_density(x, p, N, dgp_F1, dgp_Fp1, f_low, f_up, kernel = "triangular")

Arguments

x	Numeric vector or data matrix, the running variable.
p	Integer, polynomial order.
N	Integer, sample size.
dgp_F1, dgp_Fp1	Numeric, theoretical d.g.p.
f_low, f_up	Numeric, lower and upper boundaries.
kernel	String, the kernel function, can be triangular (default), uniform or epanechnikov.

Details

This is an internal function, and should not be called by users.

Value

Returns MSE optimal bandwidth.
