Expectation of Fisher score not equal to 0 when parametrize Categorical distribution differently
Expectation of Fisher score should equal to zero. The prove can be found in many palces, such as wikipedia.
But I tried a categorical distribution that is not parameterizatized minimally, the expected ...

Why are fisher-scoring estimates of the fixed-effects not used to calculate empirical bayes estimates of random-effects? Are they in-admissible?
Why is it not practiced using estimates of fixed-effects from fisher scoring used to calculate GEE coefficients to estimate random-effects via empirical bayes? We have another estimate of $\theta$ in ...

How to calculate a multivariable fisher information matrix
I do not understand what is the definition for
$$\mathcal I(\theta) = -E[H(\theta)]$$
where $H$ is the hessian of log-likelihood function
how should I calculate this if $\theta$ is a vector. What ...

Does Fisher scoring exist as such?
I'm studying second order optimization methods in statistics, and I've run into a conceptual barrier that I was hoping someone can help me with.
First for some notation: consider a sample $X_1,\dots,...

Show condition so $\beta_{m+1}$ is the solution of weighted least squares problem
In my exercise we assume that $Y_i|X_i$ has distribution with density $f_i(y_i,\eta_i) $ for $i=1,...,n$ where $\eta_i=X_i^T$ is the linear predictor. The generalized linear model with an exponential ...

R: GLM Fisher Scoring Algorithm vs. Optim BFGS
I hope some of you can help me figure this out:
When fitting a simple logistic regression we can use R‘s GLM package with family=binomial(). As far as I’m concerned, it uses the Fisher Scoring ...

Show that each iteration of Fisher Scoring for GLM is least squares for working response
Show that each iteration of Fisher Scoring (also Iterated ReWeighted Least Squares - IRLS or IWLS) algorithm is the same as doing least squares on the working responses, where the working responses ...

Why using Newton's method for logistic regression optimization is called iterative re-weighted least squares?
Why using Newton's method for logistic regression optimization is called iterative re-weighted least squares?
It seems not clear to me because logistic loss and least squares loss are completely ...

Variation in Fisher scoring compared with Newton-Raphson (logistic regression)
I have been trying to figure out the implementation in knime. The tool says it uses Fisher scoring (FS). I understand Newton Raphson-method from http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2011/09/the-simpler-...

partial derivative of log likelihood function
I am trying to find $\partial/\partial \theta \log \ L $ where $L = \pi^y(1-\pi)^{1-y}, \pi = \frac{\exp(X \beta)}{1+\exp(X \beta)}, \ X$ is $ N(\mu,\sigma^2) \ \& \ y$ is binary.
I first ...

Why is Fisher Scoring easier to compute?
In practice, the observed information matrix (Newton-Raphson) is usually replaced by its expectation, known as Fisher scoring.

Why do we make a big fuss about using Fisher scoring when we fit a GLM?
I'm curious about why we treat fitting GLMS as though they were some special optimization problem. Are they? It seems to me that they're just maximum likelihood, and that we write down the ...
