Theorem 5 (Iacus and La Torre, 2001)
Theorem 8 (Forte and Vrscay, 1998)
Theorem 9 (Collage Theorem for FT, (Forte and Vrscay, 1998))
4.1 Asymptotic results for the quantile-based IFS estimator
Theorem 12 (Gill and Levit, 1995)
4.2 Characteristic function and Fourier density estimation
Let
![]()
Then
![]()
is asymptotically efficient under the hypotheses of Theorem 12. Proof. Note that R0(F0) is a lower bound on the asymptotic risk of
![]()
by Theorem 12. Moreover,

by Chauchy-Schwartz inequality applied to
![]()
as
![]()
we have the result. Note that α > 1 is not admissible as at most Nn = n quantiles are of statistical interest.

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