nprobust (Q42547)

Estimation, inference, bandwidth selection, and graphical procedures for kernel density and local polynomial regression methods, including robust bias-corrected confidence intervals as described in Calonico, Cattaneo and Farrell (2018, <doi:10.1080/01621459.2017.1285776>). The package includes 'lprobust()' for local polynomial point estimation and robust bias-corrected inference, 'lpbwselect()' for local polynomial bandwidth selection, 'kdrobust()' for kernel density point estimation and robust bias-corrected inference, 'kdbwselect()' for kernel density bandwidth selection, and 'nprobust.plot()' for plotting results. The main methodological and numerical features are described in Calonico, Cattaneo and Farrell (2019, <doi:10.18637/jss.v091.i08>).
