Abstract

It is shown that, for a nonparametric recursive kernel classification rule,sum^{n}_{i=1}h^{d}(i)I_{ {h(i) > epsilon } } / sum^{n}_{j=1} h^{d} (j) rightarrow 0 {rm as} n rightarrow infty,allepsilon > 0andsum^{infty}_{i=1}h^{d}(i)= inftyconstitute a set of conditions which are not only sufficient but also necessary for weak and strong Bayes risk consistency of the rule. In this way, weak and strong consistencies are shown to be equivalent.
