The authors show the nonexistence of informative unbiased estimators in all singular problems. They consider both the case of fixed sample size and asymptotical, including most problems with optimal rate of convergence slower than \(n^{-1/2}\). They also discuss situations in regular problems where such nonexistence can occur.
