Abstract
The Efron-Stein inequality is applied to prove that the kernel density estimate $f_n$, with an arbitrary nonnegative kernel and an arbitrary smoothing factor, satisfies the inequality $\operatorname{var}(\int|f_n - f|) \leq 4/n$ for all densities $f$. Similar inequalities are obtained for other estimates.
