Abstract

Convergence of densities implies convergence of their distribution functions via Scheffe's theorem. This paper is concerned with the converse: what are sufficient conditions to obtain convergence of densities from convergence of distribution functions? A general lemma is given and local limit results are obtained for translation and scale statistics.
