Er, do you have a reference for what such a beast should be doing? Kernel smoothing methods generally rely quite heavily on having a continuous distribution (for density estimates) or having a continuous x distribution and something on the y axis that allows taking weighted avereages (for nonparametric regression type problems). -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
