The KDE Procedure

WEIGHT Statement

  • WEIGHT variable;

The WEIGHT statement specifies a variable that weights the observations in computing the kernel density estimate. Observations that have higher weights have more influence in the computations. If an observation has a nonpositive or missing weight, then the entire observation is omitted from the analysis. Be cautious in using data sets that have extreme weights, because they can produce unreliable results.
