On kernel-based estimation of conditional Kendall’s tau: finite-distance bounds and asymptotic behavior

We study nonparametric estimators of conditional Kendall’s tau, a measure of concordance between two random variables given some covariates. We prove non-asymptotic pointwise and uniform bounds, that hold with high probabilities. We provide “direct proofs” of the consistency and the asymptotic law o...
