Implements the local linear kernel
K_{x,b}(u)= \frac{K_b(u)-K_b(u)u^T D^{-1}c_1}{c_0 - c_1^T D^{-1} c_1},
where c_1 = (c_{11}, \dots, c_{1d})^T, D = (d_{ij})_{(d+1) \times (d+1)}
with
c_0 = \sum_{i=1}^n \int_0^T K_b(x-X_i(s)) Z_i(s)ds, \\
c_{ij} = \sum_{i=1}^n \int_0^T K_b(x-X_i(s))\{x-X_{ij}(s)\} Z_i(s)ds, \\
d_{jk} = \sum_{i=1}^n \int_0^T K_b(x-X_i(s))\{x-X_{ij}(s)\}\{x-X_{ik}(s)\} Z_i(s)ds,
see also Nielsen (1998).
Matrix output with entries the values of the kernel function at each point.
