Abstract

The rate at which the mean integrated square error decreases as sample size increases is evaluated for general $L^1$ kernel estimates and for the Fourier integral estimate for a probability density. The rates are compared to that of the minimum M.I.S.E.; the Fourier integral estimate is found to be asymptotically optimal.
