Moderate deviations for the $L_1$-norm of kernel density estimators

Abstract

The rate of normal approximation for the integral norm of kernel density estimators is investigated in the case of densities with power-type singularities. The quantities from the formulations of published results by the author are estimated. By assumption, the density tends to zero as a power-type function when the argument tends to infinity. Moreover, the density may have a finite number of power-type zeroes and of points with power-type tending to infinity. For such densities the size of zones of moderate deviations are found.
