Abstract

Conditions are given for the attainment of the Hammersley-Chapman-Robbins bound for the variance of an unbiased estimator, in both regular and nonregular cases. Comparisons are made between this bound and the Bhattacharyya system of bounds for a wide class of distributions and parametric functions. Sufficient conditions are provided to determine when one bound is sharper than the other one.
