BUILT-IN MATHEMATICA SYMBOL

MaxMixtureKernels

MaxMixtureKernels
is an option for SmoothKernelDistribution and related functions that specifies the maximum number and location of kernel functions to use in the estimation.

MORE INFORMATION

The following settings can be given for MaxMixtureKernels:

	Automatic	automatically place number of kernels
	All	place a kernel at all data points
	n	use uniformly spaced kernels
	{spec₁,spec₂,...}	use , , in different dimensions

MaxMixtureKernels specifies the initial number and placement of kernels to use in a density estimation. Kernels with zero weights from the estimation are not used in the final result.
