Conjecture on error density estimation for long-memory regression errors

About 15 years old · traced to

Consider the regression model Yi=β0+β1X1+εiY_i=\beta_0+\beta_1X_1+\varepsilon_i and the Parzen–Rosenblatt estimator

f^h,Δ(x)=1nh∑i=1nKh(x−ε^i).\hat f_{h,\Delta}(x)=\frac{1}{nh}\sum_{i=1}^n K_h(x-\hat\varepsilon_i).

Assume conditions (P) and (E), and assume that the estimator expansion in holds. Suppose that FηF_{\eta} is five times differentiable with bounded, continuous, and integrable derivatives, that αε<1/2\alpha_{\varepsilon}<1/2, and that

nh5→0,σn,2h→∞.nh^5\to 0,\qquad \sigma_{n,2}h\to\infty.

Error-density estimation conjecture. For each fixed xx,

nσn,2(f^h,Δ(x)−f(x))→dfε(2)(x)(Z2−12Z12).\frac{n}{\sigma_{n,2}}\left(\hat f_{h,\Delta}(x)-f(x)\right)\xrightarrow{d} f_{\varepsilon}^{(2)}(x)\left(Z_2-\frac{1}{2}Z_1^2\right).

This asserts a nonstandard limiting distribution for residual-based error-density estimation in the long-memory regime αε<1/2\alpha_{\varepsilon}<1/2. The supplied text gives the claimed limit but no evidence of whether it has been proved or remains open.
