Barndorff-Nielsen’s celebrated p *-formula and variations thereof have amongst their various attractions the ability to approximate bimodal distributions. In this paper we show that in general this requires a crucial adjustment to the basic formula. The adjustment is based on a simple idea and straightforward to implement, yet delivers important improvements. It is based on recognizing that certain outcomes are theoretically impossible and the density of the MLE should then…
