Step-by-Step Analysis
To determine the missing entry in the estimated information matrix A0, we need to inspect how A0 is formed in nonlinear least squares for the given model.
Option by option analysis:
Option 1: 𝔼(ˆθ2^2 1/x^2 ˆθ2 t log^2(xt)) — This mixes various terms in a way that does not align with the standard construction of A0, which uses derivatives of the nonlinear function with respect to θ evaluated at the data and typically involves powers of x_t and log(x_t) separately rather than combining them inside an expectation with 1/x^2 factors. This does not match the conventio......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers
