Comments and demonstration: Of the several pages linked in previous comments, perhaps [this one](https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/193048/how-to-get-the-maximum-likelihood-estimator-of-u-theta-theta-1) from @stubbornAtom and [this one](https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/360725/finding-maximum-likelihood-estimator-symmetric-uniform-distribution) from @whuber are most directly relevant. While there is no unique MLE, it makes sense to use sufficient statistics to find an unbiased estimator with small root mean square error (RMSE). One good candidate is the unbiased midrange, as illustrated in the R simulation below for the case in which $\theta = 5.$ set.seed(311) m = 10^6; mx = mn = mr = numeric(m) th = 5; n = 10 for(i in 1:m) { x = runif(n, th, th+1) mx[i] = max(x) mn[i] = min(x) mr[i] = mean(range(x)) } . # Unbiased estimators t1 = mx - .9 # adj max t2 = mr - .5 # adj midrange t3 = mn - .1 # adj min mean(t1); mean(t2); mean(t3) [1] 5.009175 [1] 5.00002 [1] 4.990866 sd(t1); sd(t2); sd(t3) [1] 0.08292119 [1] 0.06145805 # smallest of 3 [1] 0.08282185 # RMSE's sqrt(mean((t1 -th)^2)) [1] 0.08342722 sqrt(mean((t2 -th)^2)) [1] 0.06145803 # smallest of 3 sqrt(mean((t3 -th)^2)) [1] 0.08332399 par(mfrow=c(1,3)) hist(t1, prob=T, col="skyblue2", main="Unbiased Max") hist(t2, prob=T, col="skyblue2", main="Unbiased Midrange") hist(t3, prob=T, col="skyblue2", main="Unbiased Min") par(mfrow=c(1,3)) [![enter image description here][2]][2] [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/kbybv.png [2]: https://i.sstatic.net/NNCzz.png
