eng Abstract:
We introduce the notions of essential tangent space and reduced Fisher metric and extend the classical Cramér-Rao inequality to $2$-integrable (possibly singular) statistical models for general $varphi$-estimators, where $varphi$ is a $V$-valued feature function and $V$ is a topological vector space. We show the existence of a $varphi$-efficient estimator on strictly singular statistical models associated with a finite sample space and on a class of infinite dimensional exponential models that have been discovered by Fukumizu. We conclude that our general Cramér-Rao inequality is optimal.
