For n = 1, 2,... and i integer between 1 and n, let xni be fixed design points in a compact subset S of , and let Yni be observations taken at these points through g, an unknown continuous real-valued function defined on , and subject to errors [var epsilon]ni; that is, Yni = g(xni) + [var...

The sole purpose of this paper is to establish asymptotic normality of the usual kernel estimate of the marginal probability density function of a strictly stationary sequence of associated random variables. In much of the discussions and derivations, the term association is used to include both...

Let X1, X2,..., Xn be p-dimensional random vectors coming from a strictly stationary sequence which is also subject to any one of the four standard kinds of mixing. The survival function is defined by (x) = P(X x), where X is distributed as the X's above and the inequality X x is to be...

Consider a long term study, where a series of possibly censored failure times is observed. Suppose the failure times have a common marginal distribution functionF, but they exhibit a mode of dependence characterized by positive or negative association. Under suitable regularity conditions, it is...
