Oct 18, 2019 at 17:27 comment added Michael Hardy @whuber: It says "But in this definition, the MLE depends on the pointwise values of the family of distributions $f({}\cdot{}, \theta)$." It appears that the poster means that for each $\theta,$ the function $f({}\cdot{}\mid \theta)$ is a density function. $\qquad$
Oct 17, 2019 at 11:50 comment added whuber @Michael That assumption doesn't seem to be in evidence: the question concerns cases that are neither discrete nor continuous.
Oct 17, 2019 at 6:34 comment added Michael Hardy Why would the Radon–Nikodym theorem be used when it is given at the outset that density functions exist? The Radon–Nikodym theorem merely says that under certain assumptions a density function exists, but that is already among the hypotheses.
