Let Z= (X, Y) be a R" x Rvalued random vector having a (unknown) probability density function f* (x, y) with respect to Lebesgue measure. We wish to estimate a regression function m(x) =E[Y1 X=x]. In this paper we propose a class of recursive esti mators {mn (x) } based on a random sample Z1= (X1, Y1) , Z2= (X2, Y2), from Z, and show the strong pointwise consistency and the asymptotic normality of mn (x) at a point x. We also deal with the optimality in the sense of asymptotic minimum variance.
