Bayesian Kernel Density Estimation

Bayesian Kernel Density Estimation (BKDE) is a nonparametric method for estimating the probability density function of a spatial or attribute variable by combining a kernel smoother with a Bayesian prior over the bandwidth parameter. The posterior distribution of the bandwidth propagates uncertainty into the final density estimate rather than treating the bandwidth as a fixed tuning constant.
