<p>certain regularity conditions, the Fisher information matrix may also be written as</p>

:</p>

<p>The result is interesting in several ways:<br/>
*It is equal to minus the expected <a href="page.php?w=Hessian_matrix">Hessian</a> of the <a href="page.php?w=relative_entropy">relative entropy</a>.<br/>
*It can be used as a Riemannian metric for defining Fisher-Rao geometry when it is positive-definite.<br/>
*It can be understood as a metric induced from the <a href="page.php?w=Euclidean_metric">Euclidean metric</a>, after appropriate change</p><p>
