Weights are not used in calculating the mean or standard deviation.
A related issue is still open on the tracker at 
  https://sourceforge.net/p/gnuplot/bugs/1118/
Should the calculations use sigma or e.s.d.?  (sum/N or sum/(N+1))

The kdensity code was originally contributed by Philipp Janert. 
I would be happy to get patches or requests for specific changes,
but it would be nice if they were accompanied by pointers to 
relevant literature or standard texts justifying the request.
