On the consistency and finite-sample properties of nonparametric kernel time series regression, autoregression and density estimators

SummaryKernel estimators of conditional expectations and joint probability densities are studied in the context of a vector-valued stationary time series. Weak consistency is established under minimal moment conditions and under a hierarchy of weak dependence and bandwidth conditions. Prompted by these conditions, some finite-sample theory explores the effect of serial dependence on variability of estimators, and its implications for choice of bandwidth.
