Abstract
The density of a sum of independent random variables can be estimated by the convolution of kernel estimators for the marginal densities. We show under mild conditions that the resulting estimator is n1/2-consistent and converges in distribution in the spaces C0(
) and L1 to a centered Gaussian process.
