observed_fimR Documentation

Generic method for computing the observed FIM of an 'mle' object.

Description

Fisher information is a way of measuring the amount of information that an observable random variable 'X' carries about an unknown parameter 'theta' upon which the probability of 'X' depends.

Usage

observed_fim(x, ...)

Arguments

x

the object to obtain the fisher information of

...

additional arguments to pass

Details

The inverse of the Fisher information matrix is the variance-covariance of the MLE for 'theta'.

Some MLE objects do not have an observed FIM, e.g., if the MLE's sampling distribution was bootstrapped.
