Library: smoother
See also: denbwcrit

Quantlet: gauder
Description: gauder evaluates derivatives of the Gaussian kernel rescaled by a bandwidth h, to be used for density estimation bandwidth selection.

Reference(s):

Usage: y = gauder (x, h, p)
Input:
x n x 1 vector
h scalar, bandwidth
p scalar, order of derivative
Output:
y n x 1 matrix, Gaussian density derivatives

Example:
library("smoother")
x = aseq(-1, 21, 0.1)
y = gauder(x,1,3)
t = createdisplay(1,1)
show(t,1,1,x~y)

Result:
plot the third normal derivative, bandwidth = 1
