Under assumptions A1 and A2 and given that EH23ni =0, by Lemma1 in Hall(1984) we have that 2Vb23n
is asymptotically normally distributed with zero mean and variance given by:
2 ' 2 -1h4 2
σ3n ` 2n h μ2
I ,ζ⅛)'0 dxi - (/ (g(2^50 dx)
(78)
which can be easily seen if we consider that f (xi) g(xi) = h μ2g—(x)and that
g(xi) g(xi)
EH32ni = h4μ2
I dxi- (J (gβ,<x<)) dxi)
Also this term will affect the asymptotic distribution of κI1 .
To summarize all previous steps, we can rewrite the expansion of κI1 in the following way:
κI 1 = VzIln + Bbn - 2 ^½1n + V22n + 2V23nJ - (79)
N(0,σ2n)+h-μ2 / g(2)(x)dx+o(h2)-1 fσ^n + Op(n 3/2h 1) + 2N(0,σ2n) + h-μ2 [ (g (x))
dx + o(h4) + 2N (0,σ23n) .

Once more, following Hall(1984), from the definition of Vb21n and the fact that nh → ∞, we have that the
difference between n(n-i) Pi Pj=i αn(xi, xj) and σgl is negligible w.r.t. 2U2n, hence the previous expression
can be rewritten as follows:
KKI1 - (nh1/2)-1√2σ1N1 - (nh1^)-1√2σ2N2 - n-1¾2√2σ3N3 + Bbn - |cn
(80)
where N1 ,N2 and N3 are asymptotically normal N(0,1); and

(81)
It is important to notice that Bbn, which is Op (n-1/2h2), will asymptotically cancel out with n-1/2h2 √2σ3N3,
since they are of the same order of magnitude.
Thus, we have the following results: asn →∞,h→ 0, nh →∞ and nh5 → 0
nh1/2(jcI 1 + 2Cn) →d √2σιNι - √2σ3N2.
