The author gives sufficient conditions for strong consistency of approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLE). The results are applied to study consistency properties of AMLE for families of densities with concave distribution functions or increasing failure rate distributions. The strong consistency for AMLE based on censored data is derived.
