In this paper, we consider a minimum distance (M.D.) estimation based on kernels for U-statistics. We use Cramer-von Mises type distance function which measures the discrepancy between U-empirical distribution function(d.f.) and modeled d.f. of kernel. In the distance function, we allow various integrating measures, which can be finite, $\sigma$-finite or discrete. Then we derive the asymptotic normality and study the qualitative robustness of M. D. estimates.

In this paper, we discuss simple ways of implementing non-basic kernel density estimators which typically ceed extra pilot estimation. The methods utilize order statistics at the pilot estimation stages. We focus mainly on bariable lacation and scale kernel density estimator (Jones, Hu and McKay, 1994), but the same idea can be applied to other methods too.

Validity of the stationary bootstrap of Politis and Romano (1994) is proved for U-statistics under strong mixing. Weak and strong consistencies are established for the stationary bootstrap of U-statistics. The theory is applied to a symmetry test which is a U-statistic regarding a kernel density estimator. The theory enables the bootstrap confidence intervals of the means of the U-statistics. A Monte-Carlo experiment for bootstrap confidence intervals confirms the asymptotic theory.

In this paper, we show the weak convergence of U-empirical processes for two sample problem. We use the result to show the asymptotic normality for the generalized dodges-Lehmann estimates with the Bahadur representation for quantifies of U-empirical distributions. Also we consider the asymptotic normality for the test statistics in a simple way.

In this paper a nonparametric method is proposed for detecting conditionally heteroscedastic errors in a nonparametric time series regression model where the observation points are equally spaced on [0,1]. It turns out that the first-order sample autocorrelation of the squared residuals from the kernel regression estimates provides essential information. Illustrative simulation study is presented for diverse errors such as ARCH(1), GARCH(1,1) and threshold-ARCH(1) models.

In this paper we consider kernel type estimator of the spectral density at a point in the analysis of stationary time series data. The kernel entails choice of smoothing parameter called bandwidth. A data-based bandwidth choice is proposed, and it is obtained by solving an equation similar to Sheather(1986) which relates to the probability density estimation. A Monte Carlo study is done. It reveals that the spectral density estimates using the data-based bandwidths show comparatively good performance.

This paper concerns the problem of estimating the spectral density function in the analysis of stationary time series data. A kernel type estimate is considered, which entails choice of bandwidth. A data-driven bandwidth choice is proposed, and it is obtained by plugging some suitable estimates into the unknown parts of a theoretically optimal choice. A theoretical justification is give for this choice in terms of how far it is from the theoretical optimum. Furthermore, an empirical investigation is done. It shows that the data-driven choice yields a reliable spectrum estimate.

This article deals with the nonparametric analysis of longitudinal data when there exist possible correlations among repeated measurements for a given subject. We consider a quasi-likelihood regression model where a transformation of the regression function through a link function is linear in time-varying coefficients. We investigate the local polynomial approach to estimate the time-varying coefficients, and derive the asymptotic distribution of the estimators in this quasi-likelihood context. A real data set is analyzed as an illustrative example.
