\(\sqrt n(\hat\theta_n - \theta_0) \rightsquigarrow -V^{-1}Z\) (Thm. 2.13, p. 29). The limit is a SANDWICH \(V^{-1}\Sigma V^{-1}\): V is the curvature of the criterion and \(\Sigma = P\dot m\dot m'\) the variability of its gradient. They coincide only for a correctly specified log-likelihood – the information equality – and assuming they do elsewhere is the standard way to get standard errors wrong. Mirrors morie.fn.ksr057.

Usage

morie_m_normality(m_dot_scores, V = NULL)

Arguments

m_dot_scores

n by p gradient at theta_0.

V

curvature matrix; Sigma is used when NULL, which ASSUMES the information equality.

Value

list: Sigma, V, avar, se, information_equality_assumed, information_equality_holds, n, p, method.
