The optimal bandwidth is derived by minimizing the leading terms of a second-order mean squared error expansion of an in-probability approximation of the resulting estimator with respect to<jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>. The expansion also demonstrates that the bandwidth can be chosen on the basis of bias alone, and that a simple \u201cplug-in\u201d estimator for the optimal bandwidth can be constructed. Finally, the small sample performance of our proposed estimator of the optimal bandwidth is assessed by a Monte Carlo experiment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0266466609090628","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,19]],"date-time":"2009-06-19T09:25:15Z","timestamp":1245403515000},"page":"94-118","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["OPTIMAL BANDWIDTH CHOICE FOR ESTIMATION OF INVERSE CONDITIONAL\u2013DENSITY\u2013WEIGHTED EXPECTATIONS"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"David Tom\u00e1s","family":"Jacho-Ch\u00e1vez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0266466609090628_ref16","unstructured":"Jacho-Ch\u00e1vez D.T .
