Biase of ASE estimation Kernel Regression

I'm trying to calculate the bias of the estimator $p(h)=n^{-1}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{n}(Y_{j}-\hat{m}_{h}(X_{j})^{2}w(X_{j})$ of the averaged squared error. The result I find in the literature is ...

What is the density of $X$ under fixed design?

We observe an i.i.d. sample $(X_1, Y_1), \ldots (X_n, Y_n).$ Let $m(x) = E(Y|X=x),$ $\sigma^2(x) = \operatorname{Var}(Y|X=x)$ and let $f(\cdot)$ be the density of $X.$ Under some regularity ...

Kernel density estimator that doesn't collapse in the tails

I have iid data-points $x_1, \dots, x_n$, generated by an unknown density $f(x)$. So far I have approximated $f(x)$ with a normal $N(\hat{\mu}, \hat{\sigma}^2 )$, where $\hat{\mu}$ and $\hat{\sigma}^2$...

If variable kernel widths are often good for kernel regression, why are they generally not good for kernel density estimation?

This question is prompted by discussion elsewhere. Variable kernels are often used in local regression. For example, loess is widely used and works well as a regression smoother, and is based on a ...
