Effectiveness

Thinking about it some more... the main thing I'm wondering, is how to deal with the issue that that ideal bandwidth could vary across different parts of the distribution. One could very well have a situation where say... in the dense part of a distribution, there are enough data points to make it clear that the enemy has VCS bins that are slightly too wide and that you can fit between, but a more sparse part of the distribution also has danger worth considering.

Most of the information I'm seeing in searches for bandwidth estimation for kernel density estimation, involves coming up with a single estimate for the whole distribution, which wouldn't be ideal when the data has widely varying density...
