[R] Multivariate kernel density estimation

[Liaw, Andy]

locfit() in the `locfit' package should be able to handle at least 5
dimensions, but you need tons of data and either lots of time or a very fast
computer.  ssden() in the `gss' package will handle up to 4 dimensions.
Those are the only two I know about.  Others may well know better.

HTH,
Andy
