nmise: mean integrated squared error for density estimation with normal data

Description

This function evaluates the mean integrated squared error of a density estimate which is constructed from data which follow a normal distribution.

Usage

nmise(sd, n, h)

Value

the mean integrated squared error of the density estimate.

Arguments

sd

the standard deviation of the normal distribution from which the data arise.

n

the sample size of the data.

h

the smoothing parameter used to construct the density estimate.

Details

see Section 2.4 of the reference below.
