Asymptotic normality of some conditional nonparametric functional parameters in high-dimensional statistics

Abstract

This paper deals with the convergence in distribution of estimators of some conditional parameters in the Functional Data Analysis framework. In fact, we consider models where the input is of functional kind and the output is a scalar. Then, we establish the asymptotic normality of the nonparametric local linear estimators of (1) the conditional distribution function and (2) the successive derivatives of the conditional density. Moreover, as by-product, we deduce the asymptotic normality of the local linear estimator of the conditional mode. Finally, to show interests of our results, on the practical point of view, we have conducted a computational study, first on a simulated data and, then on some real data concerning the forage quality.
