• V-statistics. Recall that <strong>in</strong> the case of an expectation<br />

functional = ( )= [ ( 1 )],<br />

the plug-<strong>in</strong> estimate is<br />

= ˆ<br />

[ ( 1 )]<br />

= 1 X X<br />

You should read Example 6.2.5, lead<strong>in</strong>g to the<br />

result that if<br />

h ³ 1 ´i<br />

for all 1 ≤ 1 ≤ ···≤ ≤ then<br />

√ √ ( − ) = ( − )+ (1)<br />

and 2 1 2 is the limit<strong>in</strong>g as well as the asymptotic<br />

variance of .<br />

• We say and are ‘ √ -equivalent’: √ ( − ) →<br />

0. However, typically has a bias of order −1 .
