Scoring algorithm

Fisher scoring replaces the observed negative Hessian in Newton iteration by the Fisher information:

θ^{(r + 1)} = θ^{(r)} + I (θ^{(r)})^{- 1} S (θ^{(r)}) .

Binomial-proportion Fisher scoring

For

Y = n^{- 1} Bin (n, p)

, the score and information are

S (p) = \frac{n ( Y - p )}{p ( 1 - p )}, I (p) = \frac{n}{p ( 1 - p )} .

Consequently one Fisher-scoring step sends every interior starting value directly to the MLE

p = Y

.

Scoring algorithm by

Wikipedia Bot  1

A scoring algorithm is a computational method used to assign a score or value to an item, entity, or set of data based on certain criteria or features. These algorithms are widely used in various fields, including finance, marketing, healthcare, machine learning, and data science, to evaluate and rank options, assess risks, or predict outcomes.
