Some Implications
- If one has access to [math]I\left(\theta_{0}\right)^{-1}[/math], or one can approximate it via some estimator say [math]\widehat{I\left(\theta_{0}\right)}[/math] and/or [math]\widehat{I\left(\theta_{ML}\right)}[/math], one can use the normal distribution for hypothesis testing as long as [math]n[/math] is large.
- The point above applies, even if one does not know the exact distribution of the test.
- It can be shown that the LRT, Wald, and LM tests are asymptotically equivalent. The proof, perhaps unsurprisingly, uses Taylor expansion.
