-joy_plot- command: How to obtain a smooth curve?

[Michael Duarte Goncalves]

Hi everyone,

Very quick question:

I have produced the code below.

joy_plot kW_power_p1 if tariff_2 == 1 & tariff_2_more_15000_w == 0, scheme(white_w3d) over(product_classification_encod) lcolor(%100) fcolor(%20) alegend range(0 15)  ///
    title("{bf}Density Plot", pos(11) size(3)) ///
    subtitle("Contract Types, 1{sup:st} Period (Households)", pos(11) size(2.75)) ///
        ytitle("Density", size(2.5) orient(horizontal)) ///
        ylabel(, nogrid labsize(2)) ///
        xtitle("Contracted Powers (in kW)", size(2.5)) ///
        xlabel(0(1)15, labsize(2) nogrid format(%9.0fc))

However, my densities are not smooth. How can I obtain smoother curves (i.e. normal ones) please?

Here is my plot:

Thank you in advance.

you can try the options bwadj2(#) or bwadj3()
The first one is to "multiply" all BW by a number, making them smoother.
bwadj3() sets the same bandwidth to all cases. (similar to using bw in kdensity)

Hi again FernandoRios ,

Thank you very much for your help.
I tried -bwadj2(#)- option and this matches what I needed. Thank you so much.

Best,

Michael
