Abstract

In this paper we introduce approximations of the cumulative conditional expectation function (CCEF) based on Bernstein polynomial copulas. These approximations converge pointwise and uniformly to CCEF. In addition some examples of the behavior of these approximations are shown. We also built estimators for the CCEF, which were constructed through Bernstein polynomial estimators for copulas. It is shown that the estimators are asymptotically normal and biased for the CCEF. We exemplify the use of these estimators through real data from the educational field. (AU)
