Hi Mathematica Users,
I am trying to write a package for evaluating
the following integral (Fisher Information
integral)
FishInt[f_Function,a_,b_,something else if necessary_]:=
....
NIntegrate[(f')^2/f,{x,a,b}]
....
f has to be a density and has to be smooth (f' exists).
The interval (a,b), possibly (-Infinity, Infinity)
is the support of f.
Any help or a template package will be appreciated.
