Abstract

We consider the problem of estimating an unknown parameter $\theta$ on the basis of independent identically distributed observations with a common density $f(x,\theta)$ and give some lower bounds for the accuracy of estimates of $\theta$ expressed in terms of the Hellinger distance $\rho(\theta; \theta') = \int_\mathscr{X} (f^{\frac{1}{2}}(x; \theta) - f^{\frac{1}{2}}(x; \theta'))^2 d\nu.$
