Let X1 , . . . , xn be n iid. random variables with distribution N (θ, θ) for some unknown θ > 0. In the last homework, you have computed the maximum likelihood estimator θ for θ in terms of the sample averages of the linear and quadratic means, i.e. Xn and X,and applied the CLT and delta method to find its asymptotic variance. In this problem, you will compute the asymptotic variance of θ via the Fisher Information....
