7.11.4.2. statsmodels.nonparametric.kde.KDEUnivariate¶

class statsmodels.nonparametric.kde.KDEUnivariate(endog)[source]¶

Univariate Kernel Density Estimator.

Parameters:

endog : array-like

The variable for which the density estimate is desired.

See also

KDEMultivariate, kdensity, kdensityfft

Notes

If cdf, sf, cumhazard, or entropy are computed, they are computed based on the definition of the kernel rather than the FFT approximation, even if the density is fit with FFT = True.

KDEUnivariate is much faster than KDEMultivariate, due to its FFT-based implementation. It should be preferred for univariate, continuous data. KDEMultivariate also supports mixed data.

Examples

>>> import statsmodels.api as sm
>>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

>>> nobs = 300
>>> np.random.seed(1234)  # Seed random generator
>>> dens = sm.nonparametric.KDEUnivariate(np.random.normal(size=nobs))
>>> dens.fit()
>>> plt.plot(dens.cdf)
>>> plt.show()
