Abstract

Continuous data are often measured or used in binned or rounded form. In this paper we follow up on Hall's work analyzing the effect of using equally-spaced binned data in a kernel density estimator. It is shown that a surprisingly large amount of binning does not adversely affect the integrated mean squared error of a kernel estimate.
