Summary
Two convergence theorems for one-sided confidence limits for exponential and monotone likelehood ratio families are given. In addition, for some special exponential families, the class of discrete limit distributions is characterized and a uniqueness result obtained. Examples of the above results are given. Applications to hypothesis testing and confidence limits are indicated.
