-kdens- is supposed to return the bandwidth in r(width), and it does as
far as I can see. Example:
. sysuse auto
(1978 Automobile Data)
. kdens mpg
(n() set to 74)
. ret list
scalars:
r(scale) = .5168486290237691
r(n) = 74
r(width) = 4.371409523168463
r(ul) = .
r(ll) = .
r(adaptive) = 0
macros:
r(kernel) : "epan2"
r(bwtype) : "silverman"
Please check again and then, if you still can't find r(width), send me a
copy of your output.
