A LAW OF THE ITERATED LOGARITHM FOR NEAREST NEIGHBOR ESTIMATION OF MULTIVARIATE DENSITY-FUNCTION

Let X be a d-dimensional random vector with unknown density function f(z) = f (z1, ..., z(d)), and let f(n) be teh nearest neighbor estimator of f proposed by Loftsgaarden and Quesenberry (1965). In this paper, we established the law of the iterated logarithm of f(n) for general case of d greater-than-or-equal-to 1, which gives the exact pointwise strong convergence rate of f(n).
