Kernel Density Estimation and Distribution Testing (KDE)
Kernel Density Estimation is a nonparametric method that estimates a continuous probability density by placing a smooth kernel function over each observation, without assuming any parametric distribution. It traces back to Rosenblatt (1956) and the textbook treatment by Silverman (1986), and it also supports distribution-comparison tests built on the estimated densities.
