Maximum Likelihood - Cramer Rao Lower Bound Intuition
Ben Lambert
View ChannelAbout
This channel is intended to provide a detailed explanation of the majority of undergraduate & graduate courses in econometrics, with as much emphasis as possible on intuition & examples rather than hardcore mathematics. The undergraduate course in particular which I provide does not use any linear algebra in the given derivations. The graduate course extends the undergraduate course by covering the same topics more completely using matrix algebra, and going into the asymptotic behaviour of estimators in more depth. Recently, I have published a book on Bayesian inference and include here a video series on this topic.

Video Description
This video provides some intuition behind the idea that the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound is inversely related to the variance of a maximum likelihood estimator.

Check out https://ben-lambert.com/econometrics-course-problem-sets-and-data/ for course materials, and information regarding updates on each of the courses. Quite excitingly (for me at least), I am about to publish a whole series of new videos on Bayesian statistics on youtube. See here for information: https://ben-lambert.com/bayesian/ Accompanying this series, there will be a book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1473916364/ref=pe_3140701_247401851_em_1p_0_ti
