Abstract

In this article, we develop a nonparametric estimator for the Hölder constant of a density function. We consider a simulation study to evaluate the performance of the proposal and construct smooth bootstrap confidence intervals. Also, we give a brief review over the impossibility to decide whether a density function is Hölder.
