“…2 Bias of kernel regression estimates Collomb (1976Collomb ( , 1977Collomb ( , 1983obtains expressions for bias, variance and mean square error of kernel regression estimates for symmetric kernels and independent data (X;, 1';). Michels (1991Michels ( , 1992 extends these results without using these assumptions. He derives the expectation and the variance of the leading terms in the Taylor expansion for asymmetric kernel functions in the case of *-mixing data (X;, 1';), i = 1,... , n. Including terms up to second order he obtains the following approximation of the expectation of the kernel regression estimate:…”
