Abstract
Let X1,X2,…,Xn be independent and identically distributed random variables with common probability density function f(x). The kernel density estimation of f(x) can be defined as fn(x)=(1/nhn)∑i=1nK((x−Xi)/hn), where K(u) is a kernel function and hn>0 is a series of positive constants that satisfy limn→∞hn=0. A theory is established to approximate kernel density estimation fn(x) by using random weighting estimation H^n(x) of f(x). Under certain conditions, it rigorously proves that nhn(H^n(x)−fn(x)) and nhn(fn(x)−f(x)) have the same limiting distribution for any random series X1,X2,…,Xn.
