Abstract
A family of kernels (with the sinc kernel as the simplest member) is introduced for which the associated deconvolving kernels (assuming normally distributed measurement errors) can be represented by relatively simple analytic functions. For this family, deconvolving kernel density estimation is not more sophisticated than ordinary kernel density estimation. Application examples suggest that it may be advantageous to overestimate the measurement error, because the resulting deconvolving kernels can partially compensate for the blurring inherent to the density estimation itself. A corollary of this proposition is that, even without error, it may be rational to use deconvolving rather than ordinary kernels.
