โฆ Synopsis
The sole purpose of this paper is to establish asymptotic normality of the usual kernel estimate of the marginal probability density function of a strictly stationary sequence of associated random variables. In much of the discussions and derivations, the term association is used to include both positively and negatively associated random variables. The method of proof follows the familiar pattern for dependent situations of using large and small blocks. A result made available in the literature recently is instrumental in the derivations.

The estimation of integrated density derivatives is a crucial problem which arises in data-based methods for choosing the bandwidth of kernel and histogram estimators. In this paper, we establish the asymptotic normality of a multistage kernel estimator of such quantities, by showing that under some
In this paper, we give the exact asymptotic L 1 -error for the kernel estimator of the density function from censored data. We also give asymptotically optimal bandwidths. Strong approximation of the product-limit estimator by a Gaussian process is used to obtain the result.
