This package implements a vine copula based kernel density estimator. The 
estimator does not suffer from the curse of dimensionality and is therefore well 
suited for high-dimensional applications (see, Nagler and Czado, 2016). 

You can install the latest development version as follows:

``` r
devtools::install_github("tnagler/kdevine")
```
