โฆ Synopsis
The asymptotic results for a kernel estimator of a distribution function F [Azzalini (1981)] are extended. Under certain smoothness conditions on the quantile function, it is established that. a class of kernel estimators of F can achieve a smaller mean squared error than the empirical distribution function, even at points where the density is unbounded or has zero derivative. Asymptotic optimal bandwidths are obtained.

The optimal bandwidth of the d-dimensional kernel estimator of a density is well known to have order n l.,(4+d). In this note, the multivariate distribution function F(x) is estimated by integrating a kernel estimator of its density. The asymptotic optimal bandwidth of the d-dimensional kernel dist
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 pos
