Spike obstruction to density-power differentiability
ID: spike-obstruction-to-density-power-differentiability
A perturbation can have negligible Hellinger distance but a large integral of its density's fourth power. At the uniform density on , let on and zero elsewhere, and let . Then and , so the score function is zero. However . Thus the density fourth-power functional is not continuous along this differentiable-in-quadratic-mean path, despite a bounded baseline and individually bounded nearby densities.
