SEMIPARAMETRIC IDENTIFICATION AND FISHER INFORMATION
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides a systematic approach to semiparametric identification that is based on statistical information as measure of its “quality.” Identification can be regular or irregular, depending whether the Fisher for parameter positive zero, respectively. I first characterize these cases in models with densities linear an infinite-dimensional parameter. then introduce novel “generalized information.” If positive, it implies (possibly irregular) when other conditions hold. impossibility results rates estimation. Three examples illustrate applicability general results. First, consider canonical example average densities. Second, show irregular median willingness pay contingent valuation studies. Finally, study discount factor and measures risk aversion nonparametric Euler equation measurement error consumption.

Relations between Renyi Distance and Fisher Information
In this paper, we first show that Renyi distance between any member of a parametric family and its perturbations, is proportional to its Fisher information. We, then, prove some relations between the Renyi distance of two distributions and the Fisher information of their exponentially twisted family of densities. Finally, we show that the partial ordering of families induced by Renyi dis...
متن کاملGeneralized information-entropy measures and Fisher information
We show how Fisher’s information already known particular character as the fundamental information geometric object which plays the role of a metric tensor for a statistical differential manifold, can be derived in a relatively easy manner through the direct application of a generalized logarithm and exponential formalism to generalized information-entropy measures. We shall first shortly descr...
متن کاملMutual Information, Fisher Information and Population Coding
In the context of parameter estimation and model selection, it is only quite recently that a direct link between the Fisher information and information-theoretic quantities has been exhibited. We give an interpretation of this link within the standard framework of information theory. We show that in the context of population coding, the mutual information between the activity of a large array o...
متن کاملFisher Information and Statistical Mechanics
Fisher information is an important concept in statistical estimation theory and information theory, but it has received relatively little consideration in statistical physics. In order to rectify this oversight, in this brief note I will review the correspondence between Fisher information and uctuations at thermodynamic equilibrium, and discuss various applications of Fisher information to equ...
متن کاملFisher Information and Semiclassical Treatments
We review here the difference between quantum statistical treatments and semiclassical ones, using as the main concomitant tool a semiclassical, shift-invariant Fisher information measure built up with Husimi distributions. Its semiclassical character notwithstanding, this measure also contains abundant information of a purely quantal nature. Such a tool allows us to refine the celebrated Lieb ...
