Reference issue

Closes gh-22403

What does this implement/fix?

gh-22403 noted that "Silverman's method" does not refer to a unique rule for KDE bandwidth selection. This attempts to disambiguate between Silverman's suggestion in the multivariate case and the "Silverman's rule of thumb" for the univariate case.
