GLBFP: General Linear Blend Frequency Polygon Density Estimation

Implements nonparametric density estimation with Averaged Shifted Histogram (ASH), Linear Blend Frequency Polygon (LBFP), and General Linear Blend Frequency Polygon (GLBFP) estimators. The package provides pointwise and grid-based estimation workflows, sparse-prefix grid-count computation, plotting helpers, and plug-in bandwidth selection. Methodological background follows Scott (1992) <doi:10.1002/9780470316849>, Terrell and Scott (1985) <doi:10.1080/01621459.1985.10477163>, and Carbon and Duchesne (2024) <doi:10.1007/s10463-023-00883-5>.
