KernelDensityEstimation

Compute a kernel density estimation (KDE) from a table of values.

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"KernelDensityEstimation");

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).set(property,<value>);

model.result().dataset(<dtag>).setIndex(property,<value>,<index>);

model.result().dataset().create(<dtag>,"KernelDensityEstimation"); creates a kernel density evaluation dataset.

Kernel density estimation datasets take a table and compute the kernel density estimation (KDE), which is a nonparametric way to estimate the probability density function of a random variable.

The following properties are available:

Table 7-70: Valid Property/Value Pairs for KernelDensityEstimation Datasets.
Name	Value	Default	Description
autores	Boolean	true	Use an automatic or manual resolution for the variables.
bandwidth	auto \| manual	auto	Use automatic computation of the bandwidth using Silverman’s rule of thumb or provide the bandwidth manually.
bandwidth1d	scalar double	1	The bandwidth for the KDE kernel, if bandwidth is set to manual and dimension is 1.
bandwidth2d	double 2-by-2 array	{1 0; 0 1}	The bandwidth for the KDE kernel, if bandwidth is set to manual and dimension is 2. Specify using setIndex syntax.
