r t=1

where Qθ(xs,Zs) is between Qθ(xs) and Qθ(Zs). Then by using the same procedures as

in (A.27), we have

J3(Qθ)-J3(Qθ-CT)=O(CT).                                           (A.37)

Now we have the result of Step 1 for the proof of Theorem (iii).                          □

Step 2: Show that JT=J+op(1) under the alternative hypothesis.

Using (7) and uniform convergence rate of kernel regression estimator under β-mixing

process, we have
