We construct weighted Cramér‐von Mises location estimators which are asymptotically normally distributed throughout an ϵe‐contamination neighbourhood of a given, strongly unimodal distribution function, and which minimize the maximum asymptotic variance in such neighbourhoods. Applications to the estimation of a normal or logistic mean are given.
