A test for singularity

Frigyesi, Attila LU and Hössjer, Ola (1998) In Statistics and Probability Letters 40(3). p.215-226
Abstract
he LP-norm and other functionals of the kernel estimate of density functions las functions of the bandwidth) are studied as means to test singularity. Given an absolutely continuous distribution function, the LP-norm, and the other studied functionals, will converge under some mild side-constraints as the bandwidth decreases. In the singular case, the functionals will diverge. These properties may be used tc, test whether data comes from an arbitrarily large class of absolutely continuous distributions or not.
