Kernel Density Estimation in Rust
Note: Currently only univariate distributions are supported but multivariate is a goal in the future!
Examples
univariate - This example showcases the core pdf
, cdf
, and sample
functionalities for a univariate distribution.
cargo run --example univariate
kernel - This example showcases each of the available kernel functions.
cargo run --example kernel

Kernel density estimation in Rust.
Kernel density estimation (KDE) is a non-parametric method to estimate the probability density function of a random variable by taking the summation of kernel functions centered on each data point. This crate serves three major purposes based on this idea:
- Evaluate the probability density function of a random variable.
- Evaluate the cumulative distribution function of a random variable.
- Sample data points from the probability density function.
An excellent technical description of the method is available here[^citation].
