4.2 Characteristic function and Fourier density estimation
Let F be continuous and
![]()
Then
![]()
has the Chung-Smirnov property.
Proof. In fact,

by hypotheses.
We can also establish the local asymptotic minimax optimality of our estimator when F is in a rich family (in the sense of Levit, 1978 and Millar 1979, see as well Gill and Levit, 1995, Section 6) of distribution functions. For any estimator Fn of the unknown distribution function F we define the integrated mean square error as follows
![]()
where
is a fixed probability measure on [0,1] and EF is the expectation under the true law F. What follows is the minimax theorem in the version given by Gil and Levit (1995).

In this paper we review some recent results concerning the approximations of distribution functions and measures on [0, 1] based on iterated function systems.
