(a) For a given model with likelihood , define the Fisher information matrix in terms of the Hessian of the log-likelihood.
Consider a generalised linear model with design matrix , output variables , a bijective link function, mean parameters and dispersion parameters . Assume is known.
(b) State the form of the log-likelihood.
(c) For the canonical link, show that when the parameter is known, the Fisher information matrix is equal to
for a diagonal matrix depending on the means . Identify .
