We consider the behaviour of the Fisher information of scaled sums of independent and identically distributed random variables in the Central Limit Theorem regime. We show how this behaviour can be related to the second-largest non-trivial eigenvalue of the operator associated with the Hirschfeld–Gebelein–Rényi maximal correlation. We prove that assuming this eigenvalue satisfies a strict inequality, an <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$O(1/n)$ </tex-math></inline-formula> rate of…

### Rates of Fisher information convergence in the central limit theorem for nonlinear statistics

We develop a general method to study the Fisher information distance in central limit theorem for nonlinear statistics. We ﬁrst construct explicit representations for the score functions. We then use

### Information-theoretic convergence of extreme values to the Gumbel distribution

It is shown that, assuming certain properties of the von Mises representation, convergence to the Gumbel can be proved in the strong sense of relative entropy, and a new type of score function is introduced which behaves well under the maximum operation.

This paper proposes to use information fusion and its intelligent sensing technology to take advantage of learning analytics to collect, organize, analyze, and guide the learning data generated by students in the learning process and then to generate interventions that can have an impact on learning and improve learning methods for students.
