On the nonexistence of certain optimal confidence sets for the rectangular problem

It has been shown that there does not exist any uniformly most accurate unbiased or uniformly most accurate invariant confidence set for [theta] at level 1 -- [alpha] where the sample is drawn from a rectangular ([theta], [theta] + 1) distribution. So Pratt's (1961) statement in this connection is seen to be fallacious.
