Quantlet: Rdenbest
Description: evaluates a kernel estimate of an integrated squared density (derivative) using the normal kernel for a (vector of) bandwidth(s) h. This quantlet is a variation of Rdenxest and uses linearly prebinned data for faster computation.

Reference(s):

Usage: Rh = Rdenbest(der, nx, binw, d, h, diag)
Input:
der scalar, order of derivative der = 0,1,2,...
nx scalar, number of data points
binw m x 1 vector of bin weights = autocovariance of the bin counts
d Defintion scalar, binwidth p x 1 vector of bandwidths
h scalar; if set to 0, the diagonal terms are removed from the estimate, otherwise included
Output:
Rh p x 1 vector of the functional estimates

Example:
library("smoother")
library("xplore")
randomize(0)
n = 1000
s = 2
diag = 1
h = #(0.1, 0.2, 0.3)
d = 0.01
{w,mu,sigma} = normalmixselect("Marron_Wand_3")
x = normalmix(n, w, mu, sigma)
{bingrid, bincounts} = binlindata(x, d, 0)
binw = binweights(bincounts)
Rh = Rdenbest(s, n, binw, d, h, diag)
h ~ Rh

Result:
computes the kernel estimates for the integrated squared
second density derivative at three different bandwidths
based on a sample of size 1000 generated from a normal
mixture example density using linear binned data:
