Existence and strong consistency of maximum likelihood estimates for 1-dimensional exponential families

Weiwen Miao and Marjorie G. Hahn

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1996, vol. 28, issue 1, 9-21

Abstract: The paper focuses on existence, in the sense of Hoffmann-Jørgensen, of the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of the parameter for 1-dimensional exponential families. It is established that the MLE exists in most cases.
