Estimation of density functions by order statistics

The properties of the empirical density function,f _n(x) = k/n( _j ⁺ – _j-1 ⁺ ) if _j-1 ⁺ < x ⁺ where _j-1 ⁺ and _j ⁺ are sample elements and there are exactlyk – 1 sample elements between them, are studied in that practical point of view how to choose a suitablek for a good estimation. A bound is given for the expected value of the absolute value of difference between the empirical and theoretical density functions.
