Optimal bandwidths for kernel density estimators of functions of observations

We derive optimal bandwidths for kernel density estimators of functions of observations proposed in Frees (J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 89 (1994) 517-525). Our criteria are, respectively, the minimization of the asymptotic mean squared error and of the asymptotic mean integrated squared error of the estimators.
