• In statistical inference, the best asymptotically normal estimator is denoted by
• If the conditional distribution of $X_1, X_2,\cdots,X_n$ given $S=s$, does not depend on $\theta$, for any value of $S=s$, the statistics $S=s(X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n)$ is called

• If $X_1,X_2,\cdots, X_n$ is the joint density of n random variables, say, $f(X_1, X_2,\cdots, X_n;\theta)$ which is considered to be a function of $\theta$. Then $L(\theta; X_1,X_2,\cdots, X_n)$ is called
• For two estimators $T_1=t_1(X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n)$ and $T_2=t_2(X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n)$ then estimator $t_1$ is defined to be $R_{{t_1}(\theta)}\leq R_{{t_2}(\theta)}$ for all $\theta$ in $\Theta$
• Let $X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n$ be a random sample from the density $f(x;\theta)$, where $\theta$ may be vector. If the conditional distribution of $X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n$ given $S=s$ does not depend on $\theta$ for any value of $s$ of $S$, then statistic is called.
• $Var_\theta (T) \geq \frac{[\tau'(\theta)]^2}{nE[{\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta}log f((X;\theta)}^2]}$, where $T=t(X_1,X_2,\cdots, X_n)$ is an unbiased estimator of $\tau(\theta)$. The above inequality is called
• Let $X_1,X_2,\cdots,X_n$ be a random sample from a density $f(x|\theta)$, where $\theta$ is a value of the random variable $\Theta$ with known density $g_\Theta(\theta)$.
