a
For a regular scalar statistical model, the one-observation Fisher information is
I(θ)=Eθ​[{∂θ​logp(Y∣θ)}2].
(1)
Under the usual differentiation and interchange-of-integral conditions it also equals −Eθ​[∂θ2​logp(Y∣θ)]. The Jeffreys prior is
pJ​(θ)∝I(θ)​.​
(2)
This prior measure is invariant under smooth one-to-one reparameterization, but may be improper. For independent identically distributed observations the information multiplier n changes only the prior's proportionality constant.
