Can't Get You Out of My Head

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her eighth studio album, Fever (2001). Parlophone Records released the song as the album's lead single on 8 September 2001. "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which was written and produced by Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis, is a dance-pop, techno-pop and nu-disco song that is known for its "la la la" hook. Its lyrics are about obsession with a love interest. Music critics praised the song's production and Minogue's vocals and labelled it a highlight of Fever.

The song reached number one on the charts in 40 countries worldwide. It peaked at number one on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks and was certified three-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It also topped the Australian Singles Chart and received a three-times Platinum certification from the Australian Recording Industry Association. In the United States, the song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became Minogue's first US top-ten single in 13 years. , the track has sold over five million copies worldwide.

Dawn Shadforth directed the music video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which features Minogue dancing against futuristic backdrops; the white jumpsuit she wore in the video became a fashion statement. Since the song's release, Minogue has included it on the set lists of various concert tours. "Can't Get You Out of My Head" appeared on several decade-end lists compiled by media such as Rolling Stone, The Guardian and NME. In 2012, Minogue re-recorded the song for her orchestral compilation album The Abbey Road Sessions.

Writing and release
In 2000, British singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis and English songwriter Rob Davis had been brought together by Universal Publishing to work on new music. The session for "Can't Get You Out of My Head" began with Davis generating a 125 bpm drum loop using the computer program Cubase. Dennis improvised with the line "I just can't get you out of my head", which later became the song's lyric. After three and a half hours, Davis and Dennis had recorded the demo for "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and the vocals were recorded the same day; the pair said the recording process was "very natural and fluid", and did not rely on heavy instrumentation.

Prior to pitching the song to Kylie Minogue, Davis and Dennis unsuccessfully offered it to S Club 7 and Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Davis then met with Minogue's A&R executive Jamie Nelson, who was impressed by the song's upbeat production and thought it would appeal to clubgoers. Nelson booked the song for Minogue to record. Although Davis thought the recording session would later be cancelled, Minogue wanted to record the song after hearing 20 seconds of the demo. The song was recorded at Davis's home studio in Surrey, England. The music, except the guitar part, was programmed using a Korg Triton workstation via a MIDI interface. Tim Orford was the mix engineer for the song. In a 2011 interview Dennis stated, "even though Kylie wasn't the first artist to be offered the song, I don't believe anyone else would have done the incredible job she did with it".

In 2001, Minogue embarked on the On a Night Like This tour to promote her seventh studio album Light Years (2000). She premiered "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on stage during the tour. It was later chosen as the lead single from Minogue's eighth studio album Fever and Parlophone Records released it on 8 September 2001 in Australia and on 17 September in the United Kingdom and other European countries. On 22 October 2001, a CD single was launched in New Zealand. In the United States, Capitol Records issued a 12-inch vinyl single on 8 January 2002 and later sent the song to US mainstream radio on 21 January 2002.

Composition and lyrical interpretation
"Can't Get You Out of My Head" is three minutes and 50 seconds long. In their book The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, Nathan Brackett and Christian David Hoard labelled it a neo-disco track. Justin Myers of the Official Charts Company characterized it as a dance-pop song, Stereogum Tom Breinan described it as a techno-pop anthem, and AllMusic's Tim Sendra called it a "timeless new wave disco hit". "Can't Get You Out of My Head" is written in the key of A minor.

The song, which does not follow the common verse–chorus structure, is composed of numerous fragmented sections. According to Davis, it "breaks a few rules as it starts with a chorus and in comes the 'la's'". Minogue chants a "la la la" hook that is often noted as the song's most appealing part by music critics. According to BBC Radio 2, the song's composition is "deceptively simple, but its veins run with the whole history of electronic music". The writer described the song's bassline as "pulsing" and influenced by the music of English rock band New Order and German electronic music band Kraftwerk.

"Can't Get You Out of My Head" is about an obsession with an unknown person, who according to The Guardian Dorian Lansky could be "a partner, an evasive one-night stand or someone who doesn't know [the song's narrator] exists". Writing for the same newspaper, Everett True identified a "darker element" in the simple lyrics and said this sentiment is echoed in Minogue's restrained vocals. True also said while Minogue's earlier work presented an optimistic romantic future, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" focuses on an unhealthy and potentially destructive obsession. He noted in her earlier songs, Minogue played "the wide-eyed ingénue with alacrity" but that in this track, she is aware of the harmful nature of her infatuation, which True called a "desire that is wholly dependent on her own self-control".

In 2012, Minogue re-recorded "Can't Get You Out of My Head" for her orchestral compilation album The Abbey Road Sessions. The 2012 version of the song has an altered musical arrangement and uses a pizzicato playing technique in which the strings of a string instrument are continuously plucked.

Critical reception
Chris True of AllMusic picked "Can't Get You Out of My Head" as a highlight of Fever, saying it "pulses and grooves like no other she's recorded". Entertainment Weekly's Jim Farber said the song "fully lives up to its title" and compared it to the music of American singer Andrea True. PopMatters Jason Thompson described Minogue's vocals as a "sexual come on" and called the song "trim and funky". Dominique Leone of Pitchfork wrote that the song "exudes a catchiness that belies its inherent simplicity, so reassuring during an era when chart acts sound increasingly baroque and producers race to see who can ape electronic music trends first".

In 2012, The Guardian music critic Everett True defined "Can't Get You Out of My Head" as "one of those rare moments in pop: sleek and chic and stylish and damnably danceable, but with a darker element hidden in plain sight". In a 2014 retrospective review, Billboard's Jason Lipshutz praised Minogue's vocals and said they complement the production, and that; "her voice operates alongside it, finding renewed power in its drive". Olive Pometsey of GQ deemed it "the sound of the noughties", highlighting the synthesisers that create "a moment of pure pop perfection". Writing for the Herald Sun, Cameron Adams placed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at the top of his list of Minogue's best songs and called it "a happy accident". Adams wrote, "if you could program a computer to formulate the perfect pop song, it would sound like this".

Reviewing The Abbey Road Sessions version of the song, Tim Sendra of AllMusic said the "most interesting reboot" on the album took place on "Can't Get You Out of My Head", saying the "insistent strings push the song along with tightly coiled electricity that is impossible to resist". Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine chose the song as one of the album's highlights, saying its arrangement makes up for the absence of dance beats and vocal production. The Independent's Simon Price wrote while the original version of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" would be "impossible to improve on", the reworked version "turns it into a pizzicato thriller score". According to Jude Rogers of The Quietus, the song's orchestral treatment does not work well for its memorable electronic production.

In 2003, Q Magazine ranked "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at number 694 on their list of the 1001 Best Songs Ever. In 2011, Rolling Stone magazine placed it at number 45 on their 100 Best Songs of the 2000s list, noting Minogue "seduced the US with this mirror-ball classic". NME ranked the song at number 74 on their 100 Best Track of the Noughties list, saying it "encapsulated everything enviable in a well-crafted song" and that it is Minogue's best single. In 2012, Priya Elan of NME placed the song at number four on her The Greatest Pop Songs in History list. In 2012, The Guardian included the song on their list of The Best Number One Records in the United Kingdom, labelling it "sleek, Arctic-blue minimalism, like an emotionally thwarted retelling of Donna Summer's 'I Feel Love' ". "Can't Get You Out of My Head" won the award for Best Single at the 2001 Top of the Pops Awards ceremony. At the 2002 ARIA Music Awards ceremony, it won the awards for Single of the Year and Highest Selling Single, and Minogue won the Outstanding Achievement Award. In 2002, it won a Dutch Edison Award for Single of the Year. At the inaugural Premios Oye! in 2002, the song received a nomination in the Song of the Year category.

Commercial performance
"Can't Get You Out of My Head" reached number one in 40 countries worldwide. In Australia, the song entered the singles chart at number one and remained there for four consecutive weeks. The Australian Recording Industry Association certified it three-times Platinum, for shipments of over 210,000 copies. In the United Kingdom, it faced competition from Victoria Beckham's single "Not Such an Innocent Girl" (2001). On the 29 September 2001 UK Singles Chart, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" debuted at number one with first-week sales of 306,000 copies. It spent four weeks at number one and remained for 25 weeks in the UK's top 40. It was certified three-times Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.

Development and synopsis

British director Dawn Shadforth directed the music video for "Can't Get You Out of My Head", which includes dance routines that were choreographed by American choreographer Michael Rooney. Minogue's looks—her youthfulness, slim figure and proportionally large mouth–had attracted comments on her exotic image; the British tabloid newspaper News of the World suggested she might be an alien. Shadforth and music critic Paul Morley took the comments on Minogue's looks into consideration, commenting on her as a "creative, experimental artist" by placing her face close to the camera lens in the music video, distorting her face but retaining her glamour.

The video begins with Minogue driving a De Tomaso Mangusta sports car while singing the song. The next scene depicts a number of couples dressed in black and white costumes performing a dance routine; they are soon joined by Minogue, who has wavy light-brown hair and is wearing a white tracksuit. The setting changes to a room where Minogue, now with straight hair and crimson lipstick, and wearing a white jumpsuit with a neckline plunging down to her navel, is striking poses. The outfit was designed by London-based fashion designer Fee Doran under the label Mrs Jones. According to Minogue, the outfit was inspired by fashion designs worn by Jamaican singer and model, Grace Jones. Minogue then performs a synchronised dance routine with several backup dancers, who are wearing red-and-black suits reminiscent of Kraftwerk's Man Machine uniforms. As the video ends, Minogue—again with curly hair and wearing a lavender halter-neck dress with ribbon tile trim, performs a similar routine on top of a building at night.

Impact
At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, the music video was nominated for Best Dance Video; Rooney won the award for Best Choreography. The hooded white jumpsuit Minogue wore in the music video is often considered to be one of her most iconic looks, particularly because of its deep, plunging neckline. Minogue's stylist William Baker described the choice of the outfit, saying, "it was pure but kind of slutty at the same time". The outfit was put on display at Kylie: The Exhibition, which featured memorabilia and costumes from Minogue's career, which was held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and at the similar Kylie: an exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney. The jumpsuit was also included in Minogue's official fashion photography book Kylie / Fashion, which was released to celebrate her 25 years in music.

The music video served as an inspiration for Morley while writing his book Words and Music: The History of Pop in the Shape of a City. In it, Morley said he "turned the lonely drive [Minogue] made in the song's video towards a city ... into a fictional history of music". University lecturers Diane Railton and Paul Weston, in their 2005 essay "Naughty Girls and Red Blooded Women (Representations of Female Heterosexuality in Music Video)", contrasted the music video of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" with that of Beyoncé's 2003 single "Baby Boy"; while both videos focus on two singers performing seductive dance routines, Minogue is presented in a calculated manner and "is always provisional, restricted, and contingent", whereas Beyoncé displays a particular "primitive, feral, uncontrolled and uncontrollable" sexuality that is embodied in the black female body. Railton and Weston said the videos are representative of the depictions of white and black women in colonial times and pop culture, respectively.

Live performances

On 2 September 2001, Minogue performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at the BBC Radio 1 One Big Sunday show in Leicester, UK. She sang the song on 8 November 2001 at the MTV Europe Music Awards ceremony in Frankfurt. At the 2002 Brit Awards held on 20 February 2002, Minogue performed a mash-up version Stuart Crichton remixed of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and New Order's song "Blue Monday" (1983). The performance was ranked at number 40 on The Guardian 2011 list of 50 Key Events in the History of Dance Music. The mashup was titled "Can't Get Blue Monday Out of My Head"; it was released as the B-side of "Love at First Sight" and was included on Minogue's remix album Boombox (2008). On 16 March 2002, Minogue performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" along with "In Your Eyes", on the US television show Saturday Night Live. On 13 December 2002, Minogue performed the song alongside "Come into My World" on Good Morning America.

In 2001, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was included on the set list of Minogue's "On a Night Like This" tour and the encore segment of the KylieFever2002 tour, which promoted Fever. In 2003, Minogue performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" at the one-night concert Money Can't Buy at the Hammersmith Apollo in London in support of her ninth studio album Body Language. In 2005, she performed the song on her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits tour and on her Showgirl: The Homecoming tour in 2006–2007. In 2008, she sang "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on the KylieX2008 tour. In 2009, Minogue performed the song on the For You, for Me tour, which was her first concert tour of North America.

A rock-oriented version of the song was performed during the Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour in 2011. The following year, Minogue promoted The Abbey Road Sessions by performing at the BBC Proms in the Park at Hyde Park, London. During the event, she sang the orchestral version of "Can't Get You Out of My Head". She performed the same version of the song on series nine of The X Factor in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2012. A "slower, darker version" of the song was included on Minogue's Kiss Me Once Tour (2014–2015) set list. She also included "Can't Get You Out of My Head" on the 2015 Royal Albert Hall performance as part of her A Kylie Christmas concert. An acoustic-guitar-driven version of the song was performed on the Golden Tour (2018–2019). In 2019, during her Glastonbury Festival set, Minogue was joined by English singer Chris Martin and they performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" together.

Minogue performed "Can't Get You Out of My Head" during the season 21 finale of American Idol in a medley with her 2023 single "Padam Padam"; for the former, she was joined by Nutsa, one of the contestants. During the performance, Minogue wore a black high-slit dress and over-the-knee leather boots.

Legacy
According to author Lee Barron, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" "further established Minogue's cultural and commercial relevance in the new millennium". He said the song "with its hypnotic 'la la la' refrain and the deceptively uncomplicated, catchily repetitive beats and synth-sound, marked yet another clearly defined image transformation from the camp-infused Light Years to an emphasis upon a cool, machine-like sexuality". Everett True of The Guardian wrote the song continued Kylie's transition from the girl-next-door to "flirtatious, sophisticated persona" that started with the release of "Spinning Around" in 2000. True said the success of "Can't Get You Out of My Head" was one of the motivating factors behind "manufactured" pop music gaining "new postmodern respectability" and marked a "clear shift in attitude towards pop music among the 'serious' rock critic fraternity".

Publications like The Guardian and Rolling Stone recognise "Can't Get You Out of My Head" as Minogue's signature song. In 2012, the UK agency PRS for Music, which collects royalties on behalf of songwriters and composers, named "Can't Get You Out of My Head" the most popular song of the decade because it received the most airplay and live covers in the 2000s decade.

Year move
What number are you going to stop at?? Georgia guy 5 July 2005 22:58 (UTC)

Well, don't go too high; I'm sure for years after 1945 someone will most likely want to type just the number. Georgia guy 5 July 2005 23:02 (UTC)

First you moved 1 through 25 from # to Year # AD. Second, you changed links to the numbers. Third, you are now moving BC year articles. What will you do next?? Georgia guy 5 July 2005 23:31 (UTC)

Years
I've reverted all your moves of the years 10 BC to AD 25.

 * 1) They broke standards - it is a long-established standard on Wikipedia that years are named with the number alone, to help with dates.
 * 2) You didn't fix the myriad double redirects your change caused.

Thanks for uploading Image:Meandrobot.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GFDL, or  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, FidoD 19:24, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Brum (surname), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dutch. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:26, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi there - thanks for the notification - I don't think WP:CSD is appropriate here and as the article has already been deleted by PROD the next avanue is WP:AFD. GiantSnowman 17:27, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of BTC-e

The article BTC-e has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Arminia. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Arminia~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:08, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 10:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Trude Dybendahl merger with Trude Dybendahl Hartz
FYI. I merged the two articles into Trude Dybendahl and had the Trude Dybendahl Hartz article redirected to Trude Dybendahl. Thanks for catching that. Chris 17:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Abdel Frasheri
Hi. I read about Abdel Frasheri in my Polish book and I based an article in its. This book is meant like "The Chronicle of Sport". Regards, Szoltys 08:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for catching the errors on the Swedish relay team in 1954
Thanks for catching the Arthur Olsson link for the 1954 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. An article on Olsson has been created. I also put the link for Stephanie Böhler as well. Have a nice day. Chris 14:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the catch on Skobov
Thanks for the correction on the Yuri Skobov article. With User:SndrAndrss being blocked right now and in the process of getting himself indefinitely blocked right now, we may be able to repair some of the damage that he is done which is quite extensive from what I have seen so far. Chris 21:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

All the right moves
I agree that those moves were crazy. I have left a note for an administrator interested in Russian transliteration issues. You may also want to apply for help to another admin, Alex Bakharev. -- Ghirla -трёп-  14:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Romanization issues
Well, lucky you; you have found the person who actually enjoys doing this kind of cleanup :) I'll take care of the cases above and go through the category.  If you find anything else of this sort, please don't hesitate to let me know—I'll help gladly.  Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 15:37, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, the cleanup is now complete. Bring more! :)—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 16:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, the "mistakes" are not necessarily mistakes—there is more than one system for romanizing Russian, with each one having its uses. The problem is not that those systems are wrong (they are not), but that using more than one system in something that's supposed to be a standardized reference is confusing.  That's exactly why one system has been adopted, and that is WP:RUS.  There is, of course, room for exceptions (common English usage, personal preferences of the person about whom an article is written, etc.), but overall, the more standardized the spelling is, the better.
 * Anyway, Kiselyov is now taken care of. If you find more in future, just drop me a note.  Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 20:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Gunnar and Harald Eriksson
I did not know that they were separate people. I got most of this information off of FIS. If you can fix this with the information you have, then by all means do so. Thanks. Chris 19:52, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Good job on splitting both Gunnar Eriksson and Harald Eriksson. I tidied up both articles if you wish to have a look. Thanks for your help. Chris 18:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Bible citation
Thanks for the excellent work on re-pointing those links. I will continue adding the abbreviation redirects and will correct any affected by your change. Peter Hitchmough 07:59, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation
Note — the linking method used for, e.g. Amos, needs attention. It might be best if the page Amos were the disambiguation page, and all links to Amos meaning Book of Amos were fixed. This can be done gradually over time. That would be the current use of disambiguation on the site. Peter Hitchmough

 * Looks good (splitting Amos into (prophet and book). Of course, if you split you need to look at its What links here Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Amos and edit the links. However I think there needs to be the following pages:
 * Amos — for disambiguation, replaces the current disamb. page.
 * Amos_(prophet)
 * Book_of_Amos

Anyway, thanks for discussing. Be bold, be wise. Peter. 08:30, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism inquiry
Hey, Zawersh, I was just wondering, I noticed that you corrected some vandalism on a page that I originally created and that I watch (historical thinking). How did you find this vandalism? It was a couple of characters appended onto the last reference on the page... I'm just curious to know how I can catch stuff like that. Andicat 2:40, 6 Feb 2005

Copyright Question
Fortune 1000 seems to be largely a data dump from. I read over the various articles about copyright violations, but couldn't figure out whether it would be a violation to reproduce the full-scale data from a magazine like is done on that page. I tried finding a place where I could ask for someone to check on it, but it seems that the only way to do it is to blank the page and put up the copyvio notice, and I wasn't sure that that was appropriate since I really have no idea if it's a copyvio or not. I also tried figuring out where to ask more generally and finally got frustrated and decided to use the helpme tag -- sorry!! How should I approach this article/situation? Thank you! -- Zawersh 00:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure of a policy to handle it either, but taking it to the talk page is certianly the right next step. In fact it stumped a series of helpers hiding on #wikipedia-bootcamp. I think the question that should be asked there is exactly what you have asked above. Random brainstorm ideas; ask the magazine, ignore the issue and use it till they complain or read the magazines copyright. Sorry that i have no 'pat' anser, but you've done the usuall things I would do to anwser the question! -- ∞Dbroadwell 01:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Heh, I'm glad it wasn't just me being stumped on it. :) Thanks for the help, I think I figured out a tolerable solution to the situation now. Cheers! -- Zawersh 02:56, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

confidence interval
Your proposed confidence interval using z-scores was far too wide unless the sample size is 1. A 90% confidence interval for the mean of a normal distribution should contain nowhere near 90% of the data (in fact, in some cases, it should contain none of the data). Besides, you're not taking into account uncertainty that comes from estimation of the variance--that's what Student's t-distribution accomplishes. Michael Hardy 01:31, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

kernel density estimator
You recently undid a revision I made to the kernel density estimator article. I think you should add h back to the denominator:

Consider the case where X is a continuous random variable. The probability that xi equals x is then zero, and f(x) needs to be estimated by averaging those xi that are in an interval around x, say x +/- h/2, where h is the width of the interval -

x - h/2 <= xi <= x + h/2

which can be rearranged as

1/h * (-1/2 <= (xi - x)/h <= 1/2)

You can see from this that there needs to be another h outside of the summation.

Refer to pp 7 - 10 of Nonparametric Econometrics by Adrian Pagan & Aman Ullah, everything is explained there.

Mr wadsworth (talk) 18:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Aha, I had misunderstood your edit summary to mean something else, but looking at the edit history I can see that you were actually restoring the equation to what it had been prior to this revision. I apologize -- I'll revert it back. -- – Zawersh 20:30, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
