The lpdensity package implements bandwidth selection, point estimation, inference and graphical procedures for local polynomial distribution and density methods.

• lpdensity: local polynomial distribution and density estimation with robust bias-corrected pointwise and uniform inference.
• lpbwdensity: data-driven bandwidth selection for local polynomial distribution and density estimation.
