To estimate density function with such incomplete data model using only the observed data, we propose to use a conditional version of the kernel given the observed data. We study such kernel density estimator for several commonly used incomplete data models. Some large-sample properties of the proposed estimators are investigated. -- Yunpeng Zhao, PhD Assistant Professor Department of Statistics Volgenau School of Engineering <[log in to unmask]> George Mason University Engineering Building, Room 1719, MS 4A7 4400 University Drive Fairfax, VA 22030-4444 Phone: 703-993-1674 Email: [log in to unmask]
