This package implements bagging bandwidth selection methods for the Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel density estimator, and for the Nadaraya-Watson and local polynomial kernel regression estimators. These bandwidth selectors can achieve greater statistical precision than their non-bagged counterparts while being computationally fast. See Barreiro-Ures et al. (2021a) and Barreiro-Ures et al. (2021b).
You can install the (compiled) released version from CRAN with:
install.packages("baggingbwsel")Alternatively, you can install the development version from github with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rubenfcasal/baggingbwsel")Note also that, as this package requires compilation, Windows users need to have previously installed the appropriate version of Rtools, and OS X users need to have installed Xcode.
