Let X be an R d -valued random variable with unknown density f. Let X1; : : : ; Xn be i.i.d. random variables drawn from f. We study the pointwise convergence of a new class of density estimates, of which the most striking member is the Hilbert kernel estimate where V d is the volume of the unit ba

✦ Synopsis
Let (X, Y ) be an R d _R-valued regression pair, where X has a density and Y is bounded. If n i.i.d. samples are drawn from this distribution, the Nadaraya Watson kernel regression estimate in R d with Hilbert kernel K(x)=1Â&x& d is shown to converge weakly for all such regression pairs. We also show that strong convergence cannot be obtained. This is particularly interesting as this regression estimate does not have a smoothing parameter.

We consider the problem of estimating a class of smooth functions defined everywhere on a real line utilizing nonparametric kernel regression estimators. Such functions have an interpretation as signals and are common in communication theory. Furthermore, they have finite energy, bounded frequency c
