It is proved that in a non-Bayesian parametric estimation problem, if the Fisher information matrix (FIM) is singular, unbiased estimators for the unknown parameter will not exist. Cramer-Rao bound (CRB), a popular tool to lower bound the…

In some estimation problems, not all the parameters can be identified, which results in singularity of the Fisher Information Matrix (FIM). The Cram\'er-Rao Bound (CRB), which is the inverse of the FIM, is then not defined. To regularize…

Neural networks are increasingly used to estimate parameters in quantitative MRI, in particular in magnetic resonance fingerprinting. Their advantages over the gold standard non-linear least square fitting are their superior speed and their…

We revisit the problem of computing submatrices of the Cram\'er-Rao bound (CRB), which lower bounds the variance of any unbiased estimator of a vector parameter $\vth$. We explore iterative methods that avoid direct inversion of the Fisher…
