The risk of is constantly . Suppose an estimator dominates it, and put
and . The biased Cramer-Rao bound, using total information , givesDomination would implyfor every real . The standard differential-inequality argument shows that the only globally defined differentiable solution is : a nonzero value forces to retain a sign and magnitude that makes leave the permitted bounded interval in one time direction.

Thus . The Cramer--Rao inequality now gives
, so domination forces equality everywhere. Equality in Cramer--Rao makes the centred estimator proportional to the Gaussian score:and hence almost surely. No strict improvement exists, so is admissible.
