Abstract
Using kernel estimates of the Parzen type, a naive sequential nonparametric density estimation procedure is developed. The asymptotic distribution structure of the stopping variable is examined. The stopping variable is shown to have finite moments of ail order and is shown to be dosed. The stopping variable
depends on some preassigned error
, and it is shown that
diverges strongly to
as
converges to zero. Finally, with
being a kernel-type estimator, it is shown that
converges to
, the true density at
, with probability one as
converges to zero.
