Comparison of 1D Density Estimators
-----------------------------------
Figure 6.5

A comparison of different density estimation methods for two simulated
one-dimensional data sets (cf. figure 5.21). The generating distribution is
same in both cases and shown as the dotted line; the samples include 500
(top panel) and 5000 (bottom panel) data points (illustrated by vertical bars
at the bottom of each panel). Density estimators are Bayesian blocks
(Section 5.7.2), KDE (Section 6.1.1) and the nearest-neighbor method (eq. 6.15).
