Asymptotic Certainty Bands for Kernel Density Estimators Based upon a Bootstrap Resampling Scheme

In this chapter, we show that a single bootstrap suffices to construct sharp uniform asymptotic certainty (or asymptotically almost sure confidence) bands for nonparametric kernel-type density estimators.
