Abstract

The goal of this research is to analyze the mean squared error (MSE) of the kernel estimator for the conditional hazard rate, assuming that the sequence of real random vector variables ( U n ) n ∈ N satisfies the quasi-association condition. By employing kernel smoothing techniques and asymptotic analysis, we derive the exact asymptotic expression for the leading terms of the quadratic error, providing a precise characterization of the estimator’s convergence behavior. In addition to the theoretical derivations and a controlled simulation study that validates the asymptotic properties, this work includes a real-data application involving monthly unemployment rates in the United States from 1948 to 2025. The comparison between the estimated and observed values confirms the relevance and robustness of the proposed method in a practical economic context. This study thus extends existing results on hazard rate estimation by addressing more complex dependence structures and by demonstrating the applicability of the methodology to real functional data, thereby contributing to both the theoretical development and empirical deployment of kernel-based methods in survival and labor market analysis.
