Since I'm unable to comment on other people's posts (new user), and people seem to think I should do that with this instead of editing the above answer, I'm simply going to write it as an answer even though I know this is better as a comment.
The updateBandwidthInterval method in the above answer forgets to check the left side as written in the method comment. This can give NaN issues for sumWeights. The below should fix that. I encountered this when doing a c++ implementation based on the above.
/**

* points closest to xval[i-1], update the interval so that it embraces
* the same number of points closest to xval[i]
