Representation of Certain Covariance Matrices with Application to Asymptotic Efficiency
特定协方差矩阵的表示及其渐近效率应用
Although maximum likelihood estimates are asymptotically efficient, they are often very hard to find. Replacement of some, but not all, of the equations in the maximum likelihood system may make it more manageable. The covariance matrices of the new estimator and of the estimating functions will have special structure in relation to the information matrix. These relationships are characterized and various properties that pertain to multiparameter efficiency are developed.…
