We study information matrices for statistical models by the $L^2$-Wasserstein metric. We call them Wasserstein information matrices (WIMs), which are analogs of classical Fisher information matrices. We introduce Wasserstein score functions…

Consider a linear model $Y=X\beta+z$, where $X=X_{n,p}$ and $z\sim N(0,I_n)$. The vector $\beta$ is unknown but is sparse in the sense that most of its coordinates are $0$. The main interest is to separate its nonzero coordinates from the…

A random Gaussian density field contains a fixed amount of Fisher information on the amplitude of its power spectrum. For a given smoothing scale, however, that information is not evenly distributed throughout the smoothed field. We…
