| Description | We focus on the kernel function choice, especially on kernels with a bounded support. Our aim is to study the optimality of the kernel with respect to the bandwidth choice. A simulation study brings comparison of the kernels. It shows up, that the cosine kernel performs better than the frequently used Epanechnikov kernel. |
