By Lemma 3.1 Hong-White (2000), under assumption A1 and A2, nh4/ ln n →∞,h0. Then:

Now we have to analyze the terms Vin and V2n. Let define f(x) = ʃh 1K( i- )g(x)dx and

Then

where Viin is a second order U-statistic and it will affect the asymptotic distribution of KIi. Similarly to

Hall(1984) let rewrite Viin in the following way:

Viin = -r

E(H1n (xi,xj)/xi)=0, then using Theorem 1 in Hall(1984) we can show that
