Observed information, often referred to in the context of statistical models and estimation, generally pertains to the actual data or measurements that have been collected in an experiment or observational study. In a more technical sense, particularly in the context of statistical inference, "observed information" can refer to the second derivative of the log-likelihood function with respect to the parameters of a statistical model. This quantity measures the amount of information that the data provides about the parameters.
