Second Order Efficiency of the MLE with Respect to any Bounded Bowl-Shape Loss Function
最大似然估计对任意有界碗形损失的二阶效率
Let $X_1, X_2, \cdots$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, each having density $f(x, \theta_0)$ where $\{f(x, \theta)\}$ is a family of densities with respect to a dominating measure $\mu$. Suppose $n^{\frac{1}{2}}(\hat{\theta} - \theta)$ and $n^{\frac{1}{2}}(T - \theta)$, where $\hat{\theta}$ is the mle and $T$ is any other efficient estimate, have Edgeworth expansions up to $o(n^{-1})$ uniformly in a compact neighbourhood of $\theta_0$. Then (under certain regularity…
