#' The logdensity package
#' 
#' A package for estimating (log) densities and their derivatives
#'
#' This package contains functions that estimate the logarithm of an unknown density function from iid data.
#' The estimation strategy is based on a local polynomial appoximation to the logarithm of the density. The
#' estimates behave well near the boundary of the support of the density and can be guaranteed to be nonnegative.
#' Details can be found in Pinske and Schurter (2020).
