Function to calcualte reference bandwidth. This
implementation is based on Worton (1989). If variances
differ greatly, it is advaisable to rescale the data
using rescale="unitvar"
. If the data is suspected
to multimodal other bandwidth estimation methods may be
more suitable. Seaman and Powell (1996) modified the
method slighty by calculating the reference bandwidth for
each dimension independently. The same result is obtained
if rescale=TRUE
. If rescaling is performed with
unit variance both methods will lead to the same result.
