Strong consistency of MLE for finite uniform mixtures when the scale parameters are exponentially small

Statistics Theory 2007-06-13 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We consider maximum likelihood estimation of finite mixture of uniform distributions. We prove that maximum likelihood estimator is strongly consistent, if the scale parameters of the component uniform distributions are restricted from below by exp(-n^d), 0 < d < 1, where n is the sample size.
