In this thesis we investigate the convergence rate of gamma kernel estimators in recursive density estimation. Unlike the traditional symmetric and fixed function, the gamma kernel is a kernel function with bounded support and varying shapes. Gamma kernels have been used to address the boundary bias problem which occurs when a symmetric kernel is used to estimate a density which has support on [0, ?). The recursive density estimation is useful when an 'additional data' (on-line) comes from the population density which we want to estimate. We utilize the ideas and results from the adaptive kernel estimation to show that the L_2 convergence rate of the recursive kernel density estimators which use gamma kernels is n^(-4/5).
