Central limit theorem for the variable bandwidth kernel density estimators

Statistics Theory 2017-12-05 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

In this paper we study the ideal variable bandwidth kernel density estimator introduced by McKay (1993) and Jones, McKay and Hu (1994) and the plug-in practical version of the variable bandwidth kernel estimator with two sequences of bandwidths as in Gin\'e and Sang (2013). Based on the bias and variance analysis of the ideal and true variable bandwidth kernel density estimators, we study the central limit theorems for each of them.
