Local Polynomial Conditional Density Methods

The lpcde package implements bandwidth selection, point estimation, and inference procedures for local polynomial conditional distribution and density methods.

• lpcde: local polynomial conditional CDF, PDF, and derivative estimation with pointwise and uniform inference.
• lpbwcde: rule-of-thumb bandwidth selection for local polynomial conditional density estimation.

R Implementation

To install/update in R type:

install.packages('lpcde')

• Help: CRAN repository.

• Replication: R-script, software article replication, comparison illustration, Python illustration, Stata illustration.

• Development version:

devtools::install_github('nppackages/lpcde/R/lpcde')

Basic usage:

model1 <- lpcde::lpcde(x_data = x_data, y_data = y_data,
                       y_grid = y_grid, x = 0, bw = 1)

model2 <- lpcde::lpbwcde(y_data = y_data, x_data = x_data,
                         x = 0, y_grid = y_grid)

Standard R methods including coef, confint, plot, print, summary, and vcov are available for fitted lpcde objects. The summary, print, and coef methods are available for lpbwcde bandwidth-selection objects.
