Asymptotic normality of an estimator of kernel-based conditional mean dependence measure

Statistics Theory 2022-07-27 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We propose an estimator of the kernel-based conditional mean dependence measure obtained from an appropriate modification of a naive estimator based on usual empirical estimators. We then get asymptotic normality of this estimator both under conditional mean independence hypothesis and under the alternative hypothesis. A new test for conditional mean independence of random variables valued into Hilbert spaces is then introduced.
