Hi,
Does any one knows how matlab computes the default bandwidth in the function ksdensity?
Thank you very much,

The 'ksdensity' function uses "Silverman's rule" as given in the post of Ghada. The difference between the calculations of Alexandra and the calculations done in Matlab is caused by a different estimation of the the standard deviation. Instead of estimating it by it is done by applying a more robust estimator with (see this Wikipedia article for further information).
With m=[1,3,2,5] you can derive with Silverman's rule that the default bandwith is given by .

thank you, actually I was study how to obtain the default bandwith too

Hello Alexandra,
In MATLAB, the default bandwidth in 'ksdensity' function is calculated using the following formula:
BandWidth = sig * (4/(3*N))^(1/5);
where 'sig' is an estimated value of the standard deviation of the samples.
I hope this helps,
Ghada

I have used this formula to test the calculations of the bandwidth and I don't think it is correct.
Take a simple example: m=[1,3,2,5] Then from [a,b,c]=ksdensity(m,m,'function','cdf') c=1.1901 and sig*(4/(3*4))^(1/5)= 1.3709 So they don't yield the same answers.

you can try this: [f, xi, bw] = ksdensity(X); bw = 'gives you the default bandwidth'
