For one observation with density , the Fisher information matrix at is
Here
Since , the Fisher information of a multivariate normal location model is
The information in the full independent sample is by Tensorization of Fisher information.
For observations , the likelihood function is
A maximum-likelihood estimator is any measurable choice
For one observation in a regular scalar model, the score function is
and the Fisher information is
where the second identity requires the usual differentiation-under-the-integral regularity. For independent observations, Tensorization of Fisher information gives .
Let
be the log-likelihood. The score function and scalar Fisher information are
Under the usual regularity conditions the score has mean zero, so this is also its variance.
The information tensorizes when it is additive over observations. For identically distributed observations,
For an independent sample the joint score is the sum of the individual scores, and the mean-zero score identity makes all cross covariances vanish. This is the Tensorization of Fisher information.
