Edgeworth and Cornish Fisher expansions and confidence intervals for the distribution, density and

We show that kernel density estimates of bandwidth h=h(n)→0 satisfy the Cornish-Fisher assumption with parameter m=nh. This allows Cornish-Fisher expansions about the normal for standardized and Studentized kernel density estimates. The expansions given are formal and the conditions for existence/va...
