function [bandwidth,density,X,Y]=kde2d(data,n,MIN_XY,MAX_XY)
%function [bandwidth,density,X,Y]=kde2d(data,n,MIN_XY,MAX_XY)
% fast and accurate state-of-the-art
% bivariate kernel density estimator
% with diagonal bandwidth matrix.
% The kernel is assumed to be Gaussian.
% The two bandwidth parameters are
% chosen optimally without ever
% using/assuming a parametric model for the data or any "rules of thumb".
% Unlike many other procedures, this one
% is immune to accuracy failures in the estimation of
% multimodal densities with widely separated modes (see examples).
% INPUTS: data - an N by 2 array with continuous data
%            n - size of the n by n grid over which the density is computed
%                n has to be a power of 2, otherwise n=2^ceil(log2(n));
%                the default value is 2^8;
% MIN_XY,MAX_XY- limits of the bounding box over which the density is computed;
%                the format is:
%                MIN_XY=[lower_Xlim,lower_Ylim]
%                MAX_XY=[upper_Xlim,upper_Ylim].
%                The dafault limits are computed as:
%                MAX=max(data,[],1); MIN=min(data,[],1); Range=MAX-MIN;
%                MAX_XY=MAX+Range/4; MIN_XY=MIN-Range/4;
% OUTPUT: bandwidth - a row vector with the two optimal
%                     bandwidths for a bivaroate Gaussian kernel;
%                     the format is:
%                     bandwidth=[bandwidth_X, bandwidth_Y];
%          density  - an n by n matrix containing the density values over the n by n grid;
%                     density is not computed unless the function is asked for such an output;
%              X,Y  - the meshgrid over which the variable "density" has been computed;
%                     the intended usage is as follows:
%                     surf(X,Y,density)
% Example (simple Gaussian mixture)
% clear all
%   % generate a Gaussian mixture with distant modes
%   data=[randn(500,2);
%       randn(500,1)+3.5, randn(500,1);];
%   % call the routine
%     [bandwidth,density,X,Y]=kde2d(data);
%   % plot the data and the density estimate
%     contour3(X,Y,density,50), hold on
%     plot(data(:,1),data(:,2),'r.','MarkerSize',5)
%
% Example (Gaussian mixture with distant modes):
%
% clear all
%  % generate a Gaussian mixture with distant modes
%  data=[randn(100,1), randn(100,1)/4;
%      randn(100,1)+18, randn(100,1);
%      randn(100,1)+15, randn(100,1)/2-18;];
%  % call the routine
%    [bandwidth,density,X,Y]=kde2d(data);
%  % plot the data and the density estimate
%  surf(X,Y,density,'LineStyle','none'), view([0,60])
%  colormap hot, hold on, alpha(.8)
%  set(gca, 'color', 'blue');
%  plot(data(:,1),data(:,2),'w.','MarkerSize',5)
%
% Example (Sinusoidal density):
%
% clear all
%   X=rand(1000,1); Y=sin(X*10*pi)+randn(size(X))/3; data=[X,Y];
%  % apply routine
%  [bandwidth,density,X,Y]=kde2d(data);
%  % plot the data and the density estimate
%  surf(X,Y,density,'LineStyle','none'), view([0,70])
%  colormap hot, hold on, alpha(.8)
%  set(gca, 'color', 'blue');
%  plot(data(:,1),data(:,2),'w.','MarkerSize',5)
%
% Notes: If you have a more accurate density estimator 
%        (as measured by which routine attains the smallest 
%         L_2 distance between the estimate and the true density) or you have 
%        problems running this code, please email me at botev@maths.uq.edu.au
