Density estimation for linear processes

Summary LetX _t , ...,X _n be random variables forming a realization from a linear process where {Z _t } is a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables with E|Z _t |<∞ for some ε>0, andg _r →0 asr→∞ at some specified rate. LetX ₁ have a probability density functionf. It is then established that for every realx, the standard kernel type estimator based onX _t (1≦t≦n) is, under some general regularity conditions, asymptotically normal and converges a.s. tof(x) asn→∞.
