The classical leave-out technique is extended, and thereby a class of cross-validated bandwidths is defined. These bandwidths are shown to be asymptotically optimal under a strong mixing condition. The leave-one out, or ordinary, form of cross-validation remains asymptotically optimal under the dependence model considered. However, a simulation study shows that when the data are strongly enough correlated, the ordinary version of cross-validation can be improved upon in finite-sized samples.
