Abstract

The problem of universal consistency of data driven bandwidth selectors for the kernel distribution estimator is analyzed. We provide a uniform in bandwidth result for the kernel estimate of a continuous distribution function. Our smoothness assumption is minimal in the sense that if the true distribution function has some discontinuity then the kernel estimate is no longer consistent.
