Description

Currently, the default is to estimate error on the ridge points as the bandwidth of the KDE. There are also options to estimate the error as the full-width half-max (FWHM) of the KDE and via bootstrapping. The FWHM and bandwidth estimators result in an overestimation of the error bars. However, performing a reasonable number of bootstrap resamplings (on the order of 10^3) takes too long to run without HPC.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Locate the KDE error-estimation implementation and compare the bandwidth, FWHM, and bootstrap paths, then determine an approach that avoids the reported overestimation without requiring roughly 10^3 bootstrap resamplings on non-HPC systems.
