A maximum-likelihood estimate is a measurable maximizer of over . Under identifiability, consistency conditions, an interior true parameter, sufficient differentiability and finite positive Fisher information, the standard limits areThe variance in the normal distribution is the reciprocal of the per-observation Fisher information, not of . Strong consistency needs additional hypotheses if it is to replace convergence in probability; the regular asymptotic result stated here does not require claiming it.
