st: Default range for 'kdensity'

["Camelia Minoiu" <cm2036@columbia.edu>]

Dear All,

I have a short question about -kdensity-. What is the default interval in 
which the points of estimation are chosen? It does not appear to be 
[min,max] where min=the minimum observed value in the data, and max= the 
maximum observed value in the data; rather, it appears to be slightly larger 
an interval. (I have been unable to find this information in the 
documentation.) What is the exact rule which chooses the limits of this 
(default) range?

Thank you for your support.
