Hello, I wanted to know if there was way to convert a histogram of a data-set to a kernel density estimate directly in R ?
Specifically, I have a histogram [bins, counts] of samples {X1 ... XN} of a quantized variable X where there is one bin for each level of X, and I'ld like to directly get a kde estimate of the pdf of X from the histogram. Therefore, there is no additional quantization of X in the histogram. Most KDE methods in R seem to require the original sample set - and I would like to avoid re-creating the samples from the histogram. Is there some quick way of doing this using one of the standard kde methods in R ? Also, a general statistical question - is there some measure of the standard error or confidence interval or similar of a KDE of a data-set ?
