Abstract
The problem of nonparametric function fitting with the observation model , i=1,...,n, is considered, where are independent random variables with zero mean value and finite variance, and , i=1,...,n, form a random sample from a distribution with density and are independent of the errors , i=1,...,n. The asymptotic properties of the estimator for and obtained by the least squares method as well as the limits in probability of the estimators , k=1,...,N, for fixed N, are studied in the case when the functions , k=1,2,..., forming a complete orthonormal system in !$! are analytic.
