Abstract

Consistency of estimation is a necessary and essential asymptotic property, but consistency of MLE, LSE and M-estimation remains unsolved satisfactorily in the general case. A commonly used “standard condition” is shown to be almost false. A unified mild condition of consistency is established in this paper, and it is often a sufficient and necessary condition.
