Using the notation described in the previous section, we take g(p) = p 1 p so that g 0(p) = 1 (1 2p) (this is a univariate this case, so k= 1 and thus there is only one derivative) and Var p^ 1 p^ ˇg0(p)2Var(^p) = 1 (1 p)2 2 p(1 p) n = p n(1 p)3; giving us an approximation for the variance of our estimator. k

Chapter 13 The Multivariate Gaussian

As in the univariate case, the parameters µ and Σ have a probabilistic interpretation as the moments of the Gaussian distribution. In particular, we have the important result: µ = E(x) (13.2) T. (13.3) We will not bother to derive this standard result, but will provide a hint: diagonalize and appeal to the univariate case.
