Quantlet: Rdenxest
Description: evaluates a kernel estimate of an integrated squared density (derivative) using the normal kernel for a (vector of) bandwidth(s) h.

Reference(s):

Usage: Rh = Rdenxest(der, x, h, diag)
Input:
der scalar, order of derivative der = 0,1,2,...
x n x 1 vector of data points
h p x 1 vector of bandwidths
diag 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 = 100
s = 2
diag = 1
h = #(0.1, 0.2, 0.3)
{w,mu,sigma}=normalmixselect("Marron_Wand_3")
x = normalmix(n,w,mu,sigma)
Rh = Rdenxest(s,x,h,diag)
h ~ Rh

Result:
kernel estimates for the integrated squared
second density derivative for three different bandwidths are
computed which are based on a sample of size 100 generated from
a normal mixture example density:
