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:

1) Evaluate the probability density function of a random variable.

2) Evaluate the cumulative distribution function of a random variable.

3) Sample data points from the probability density function.

An excellent technical description of the method is available

[here](https://bookdown.org/egarpor/NP-UC3M/kde-i.html).

__Note:__ Currently only univariate distributions are supported but multivariate is a goal in the future!

## Examples

__[univariate](examples/univariate.rs)__ - This example showcases the core `pdf`, `cdf`, and `sample` functionalities for a univariate distribution.

```

cargo run --example univariate

```

__[kernel](examples/kernel.rs)__ - This example showcases each of the available kernel functions.

```

cargo run --example kernel

```
