New research strengthens asymptotic normality for maximum likelihood estimators

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

This paper introduces stronger forms of asymptotic normality for the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). It establishes sub-Gaussian tail bounds and convergence of all moments for the normalized estimation error under specific score assumptions. The research also proves an entropic central limit theorem for a smoothed MLE, demonstrating convergence in relative entropy to a Gaussian law, and shows this smoothing can be removed under certain conditions.
