Over forty years ago, Grenander derived the MLE of a monotone decreasing density f with known mode. Prakasa Rao obtained the asymptotic distribution of this estimator at a fixed point x where f' (x) < 0. Here, we obtain the asymptotic distribution of this estimator at a fixed point x when f is constant and nonzero in some open neighborhood of x. This limiting distribution is expressible as the convolution of a closed‐form density and a rescaled standard normal density. Groeneboom (1983) derived the aforementioned closed‐form density and we provide an alternative, more direct derivation.
