We shall return later to the relations between the LAQ conditions and the convergence of experiments described in Chapters 3 and 5.For now, we shall describe a method of construction of centering variables Zn that, together with estimates of the matrices Kn, will have asymptotic sufficiency properties.It is based on the relations between differences of log likelihood described in (6.1) above.
6.3 A Method of Construction of Estimates
For each integer n., consider an experiment εn={Pθ,n;θ∈θ}where e is a subset of a euclidean space Rk.It often happens that the statistician has available some auxiliary estimate θn that indicates in what range θ is likely to be.The question might then be how to use this 0: to get a better summary of the information available in the experiment, as well as a possibly better estimate.Here we describe some properties of a method that yields, under the LAQ conditions, estimates with asymptotic optimality properties.See, Proposition 3 and Section 6.4 on Bayes procedures.The method amounts to the following: Fit a quadratic to the log likelihood around the estimated value 0* and take as the new estimated value of θ the point that maximizes the fitted quadratic.To ensure that the method works,we shall use two assumptions; the first says that θ*n puts you iu the right neighborhood.
