bw_mr: Bandwidth selection for the mirror-reflection estimator

Description

The bandwidth is selected by minimizing the MISE using the Frank copula as the reference family. The copula parameter is set by inversion of Kendall's tau. See Nagler (2014) for details.

Usage

bw_mr(udata)

Arguments

udata

data.

Value

A scalar bandwidth parameter.

Details

To speed things up, optimal bandwidths have been pre-calculated on a grid of tau values.
