nise {sm}R Documentation

integrated squared error between a density estimate and a Normal density

Description

This function evaluates the integrated squared error between a density estimate constructed from a standardised version of the univariate data y and a standard normal density function.

Usage

nise(y, hmult=1)

Arguments

y a vector of data.
hmult a factor which can be used to multiply the normal optimal smoothing parameter before construction of the density estimate.

Details

the data y are first standardised to have sample mean 0 and sample variance 1. The integrated squared error between a density estimate constructed from these standardised data and a standard normal distribution is then evaluated.

see Section 2.5 of the reference below.

Value

the integrated squared error.
