All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, scala.Serializable

public class KernelDensity
extends Object
implements scala.Serializable

Kernel density estimation. Given a sample from a population, estimate its probability density function at each of the given evaluation points using kernels. Only Gaussian kernel is supported.

Scala example:

 val sample = sc.parallelize(Seq(0.0, 1.0, 4.0, 4.0))
 val kd = new KernelDensity()
   .setSample(sample)
   .setBandwidth(3.0)
 val densities = kd.estimate(Array(-1.0, 2.0, 5.0))
