statsmodels.nonparametric.kernels_asymmetric.kernel_pdf_bs(x, sample, bw)

Birnbaum Saunders (normal) kernel for density, pdf, estimation

Parameters:

xfloat or array_like

Points at which the kernel is evaluated. x can be scalar or 1-dim.

samplearray_like

1-d sample from which the kernel estimate is computed.

bwfloat

Bandwidth parameter, there is currently no default value for it.

Returns:

ndarray

Kernel values evaluated at x for each point in sample.
