geyser, geyserh and geyserw include data collected in October 1980. geyser and geyserh were obtained from Table 3 of Härdle (2012), in geyser some repeated data are removed. geyserw was obtained from the Supplementary material of Weisberg (2005). geyserab include data collected in August 1985 from Table 1 in Azzalini and Bowman (1990).
This is a classic example for estimating the density.
Obtained from the original tables in Azzalini and Bowman (1990), Härdle (2012) and Supplementary material of Weisberg (2005).
