Summary This paper studies the large deviations behaviour of the kernel estimator of a probability density f , by considering the case when the kernel takes negative values. It establishes large and moderate deviations principles for the kernel estimators of the partial derivatives of f . The estimators of the derivatives exhibit a quadratic behaviour for both the large and the moderate deviations scales, whereas for the density estimator there is a classical gap between the large deviations and the moderate deviations asymptotics.
