This approach can be generalized to obtain a continuous CDF estimator and then an unbiased density estimator, via the likelihood ratio (LR) simulation-based derivative estimation

When & 2 − & 1 becomes small, the parameters of the beta distribution decrease, and its (bimodal) density concentrates near the extreme values 0 and 1.. 82) say in
