Some theoretical results on the performance of the identity reproducing nonparametric regression estimator of Müller and Song (1993) are presented. Compared with Müller and Song's analysis, we develop (a) better asymptotic mean squared error (MSE) results in the 'interior' of design space, and...

This paper gives asymptotically best data based choices of the bandwidth of the kernel density estimator. These bandwith selectors attain the fastest possible rate of convergence to the desired theoretical optimum and the best possible constant coefficient in the spirit of the usual Fisher...
