What/when does one need $E$ in expected Fisher information for?
Since I read an example which merely calculated the second derivatives, put a minus on them and then wrote them in matrix form. It seems that $E bigg( -partial^2 log(f) bigg)=-partial^2 log(f)$.
Normally I think that $E$ merely applies to random variables, since it treats constants as $E(c)=c$. But is it then just that in this case $E bigg( -partial^2 log(f) bigg)=-partial^2 log(f)$, but not in general.
