Dear Roberto,
I can add you an information about the estimation of the bivariate kernel
density estimation. Prof. Jenkins is right. There is nothing available
unless you are looking for the univariate density etimation (Van Kerm's
package). So, I would advise you to use a different software. Probably,
Matlab is the best for bivariate kernel density estimation. Also, C. Beardah
(Nottingham University) has already developed a very interesting program to
do this job in Matlab.
Best wishes,
Antonio
