Answer #1

A) We know that if X is random varible with N(0,theta) then

MLE for theta

Thus R code is:

X={.....} # Observed vector
MLE=(1/length(X))*sum(X^2)
MLE

B) Also if X is random varible with N(0,theta) then

Fisher information I(theta)

where, S^2


Thus R code is:

X={.....}
S=(1/length(X))*sum(X^2)
FI= (length(X)/2)*S^4
FI # Fisher information
