LPDENSITY
The lpdensity package provides tools for local polynomial distribution and density estimation, bandwidth selection, robust bias-corrected inference, and graphical procedures.
lpdensity: implements local polynomial distribution and density estimation with pointwise and uniform inference.lpbwdensity: implements data-driven bandwidth selectors for local polynomial distribution and density estimation.
