Abstract

Large deviation results for the kernel density estimator and the kernel regression estimator have been given by Louani [Louani, D., 1998, Large deviations limit theorems for the kernel density estimator. Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, 25, 243-253; Louani, D., 1999, Some large deviations limit theorems in conditional nonparametric statistics. Statistics, 33, 171-196]. We complete these works by establishing sharp large deviation results for the two estimators. This means that we study precisely the tail probabilities of the estimators. We distinguish two cases depending on the support of the kernel. To prove the results, we need an Edgeworth expansion obtained from a version of Cramer's condition.
Keywords: Kernel density estimator; Kernel regression estimator; Large deviation principle; Cramer's condition; Edgeworth expansion
