When the Cramér-rao Inequality Provides No Information
We investigate a one-parameter family of probability densities (related to the Pareto distribution, which describes many natural phenomena) where the Cramér-Rao inequality provides no information. 1. Cramér-Rao Inequality One of the most important problems in statistics is estimating a population parameter from a finite sample. As there are often many different estimators, it is desirable to be...
متن کاملBiased Cramér-Rao lower bound calculations for inequality-constrained estimators.
Unbiased Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRB) theory can be used to calculate lower bounds to the variances of unbiased estimates of a set of parameters given only the probability density function of a random vector conditioned on the true parameter values. However, when the estimated parameter values are required to satisfy inequality constraints such as positivity, the resulting estimator is typicall...
متن کاملStatistical Theory II Fisher Information and Cramér - Rao Bound
In the parameter estimation problems, we obtain information about the parameter from a sample of data coming from the underlying probability distribution. A natural question is: how much information can a sample of data provide about the unknown parameter? This section introduces such a measure for information, and we can also see that this information measure can be used to find bounds on the ...
متن کاملCoarrays, MUSIC, and the Cramér-Rao Bound
Sparse linear arrays, such as co-prime arrays and nested arrays, have the attractive capability of providing enhanced degrees of freedom. By exploiting the coarray structure, an augmented sample covariance matrix can be constructed and MUSIC (MUtiple SIgnal Classification) can be applied to identify more sources than the number of sensors. While such a MUSIC algorithm works quite well, its perf...
متن کاملOn some interrelations of generalized $q$-entropies and a generalized Fisher information, including a Cramér-Rao inequality
In this communication, we describe some interrelations between generalized q-entropies and a generalized version of Fisher information. In information theory, the de Bruijn identity links the Fisher information and the derivative of the entropy. We show that this identity can be extended to generalized versions of entropy and Fisher information. More precisely, a generalized Fisher information ...
