Kernel density estimation

This page is intended to be a simple example illustrating some of the capabilities of the GASP program. Provided a set of data, the procedure will compute a kernel density estimate (see Silverman (1986) or other references for details) at a specified number of points, and plot the resulting estimate. The user can choose from among several kernels, and specify both a bandwidth value and the number of points at which the estimate is computed.

There are several possibilities of entering data to the program.

  • Enter your data into a form.
  • Enter the URL of the file containing your data.
  • Use an example data set.
  • The source code (in R) is also available.
