Asymptotic Trimming for Bounded Density Plug-in Estimators

Abstract

This paper proposes a form of asymptotic trimming to obtain root n convergence of functions of kernel estimated objects. The trimming is designed to deal with the boundary effects that arise in applications where densities are bounded away from zero.
