Ifweuse thepreviousequation, then: E [(T−E [T])(U−E [U])]=1⇒E[(H′−θ)U]=λ′Eθ[U2]=1 (A10) Weobtain: U=∑ i A(Xi)⇒λ′nEθ [ A2 ] =1 (A11) Fromwhichweobtainλ′ andthe formof theassociatedestimatorH′: λ′= 1 nE [A2] ⇒H′= θ+ 1 nE [A2]∑i ∂logpθ(Xi) ∂θ (A12) It is thereforededucedthat theestimator that reaches the terminal isof the form: H′= θ+ ∑ i ∂logpθ(Xi) ∂θ n +∞ −∞ [ ∂pθ(x) ∂θ ]2 dx pθ(x) (A13) withE [H′]= θ+λ′E [U]= θ. H′wouldbeoneof theeligible functions, ifH′wouldbe independentofθ. Indeed, ifweconsider Eθ0 [H ′]= θ0,E [ (H′−θ0)2 ] ≤Eθ0 [ (H−θ0)2 ] ∀H suchthatEθ0 [H]= θ0. H= θ0 satisfies theequationandinequalityshowsthat it isalmostcertainlyequal toθ0. So to lookforθ0,weshouldknowbeforehandθ0. Atthisstage,Fréchet[141]lookedfor“distinguishedfunctions”(“densitésdistinguées”inFrench), asanyprobabilitydensity pθ(x) suchthat the function: h(x)= θ+ ∂logpθ(x) ∂θ +∞ −∞ [ ∂pθ(x) ∂θ ]2 dx pθ(x) (A14) is independent of θ. The objective of Fréchet is then to determine theminimizing function T = H′(X1,...,Xn) that reaches thebound.Wecandeduce frompreviousrelations that: λ(θ) ∂logpθ(x) ∂θ = h(x)−θ (A15) 104
