Abstract

In this paper we propose an estimator of Foster, Greer and Thorbecke class of measures indexed by $\alpha>0$ and depending on a poverty line $z>0$ nonparameric methods. The estimator is constructed with adaptive kernel. Uniform almost sure consistency and uniform mean square consistency are established.
