Περίληψη: We study the uniform convergence rates of nonparametric estimators for a probability density function and its derivatives when the density has a known pole. Such situations arise in some structural microeconometric models, for example, in auction, labor, and consumer search, where uniform convergence rates of density functions are important for nonparametric and semiparametric estimation. Existing uniform convergence rates based on Rosenblatt's kernel estimator are derived under the assumption that the density is bounded. They are not applicable when there is a pole in the density. We treat the pole nonparametrically and show various kernel-based estimators can attain any convergence rate that is slower than the optimal rate when the density is bounded uniformly over an appropriately expanding support under mild conditions.
