Deconvolution for an atomic distribution

Let be i.i.d. observations, where and and are independent. Assume that unobservable 's are distributed as a random variable where and are independent, has a Bernoulli distribution with probability of zero equal to and has a distribution function with density Furthermore, let the random variables have the standard normal distribution and let Based on a sample we consider the problem of estimation of the density and the probability We propose a kernel type deconvolution estimator for and derive its asymptotic normality at a fixed point. A consistent estimator for is given as well. Our results demonstrate that our estimator behaves very much like the kernel type deconvolution estimator in the classical deconvolution problem.
