![The area under a density estimate curve: Nonparametric estimates](https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/files/2011/07/KDECholesterol.png)
One of the joys of statistics is that you can often use different methods to estimate the same quantity. Last week I described how to compute a parametric density estimate for univariate data, and use the parameters estimates to compute the area under the probability density function (PDF). This article
