Abstract
Summary
We introduce a new notion of regularity of an estimator called median regularity. We prove that uniformly valid honest inference for a functional is possible if and only if there exists a median regular estimator of that functional. To the best of our knowledge, such a notion of regularity that is necessary for uniformly valid inference is unavailable in the literature.
