Use and abuse of the Fisher information matrix in the assessment of gravitational-wave parameter-estimation prospects
The Fisher-matrix formalism is used routinely in the literature on gravitational-wave detection to characterize the parameter-estimation performance of gravitational-wave measurements, given parametrized models of the waveforms, and assuming detector noise of known colored Gaussian distribution. Unfortunately, the Fisher matrix can be a poor predictor of the amount of information obtained from ...
متن کاملSensor Placement for Parameter Estimation of Structures using Fisher Information Matrix
A method based on Fisher Information from sensitivity matrix is presented for sensor placement in nondestructive tests used for parameter estimation and structural model updating using sparse and noisy measurements. This method can be used for both static and modal nondestructive tests but in this paper sensor placement for only the static nondestructive data is presented. An error function tha...

متن کاملAccelerated gravitational wave parameter estimation with reduced order modeling.
Inferring the astrophysical parameters of coalescing compact binaries is a key science goal of the upcoming advanced LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave detector network and, more generally, gravitational-wave astronomy. However, current approaches to parameter estimation for these detectors require computationally expensive algorithms. Therefore, there is a pressing need for new, fast, and accurate ...
متن کاملOn the calculation of Fisher information for quantum parameter estimation based on the stochastic master equation
The Fisher information can be used to indicate the precision of parameter estimation by the quantum Cramér-Rao inequality. This paper presents an efficient numerical algorithm for the calculation of Fisher information based on quantum weak measurement. According to the quantum stochastic master equation, the Fisher information is expressed in the form of log-likelihood functions. Three main met...
