Newton–Raphson method
The method of scoring
The multi-parameter case
θ ← θ + I1 (θ)−1 S(θ)/n
we get
∂2
J(θ) = {c(θ) − θt(X )} = c 00 (θ) = I (θ).
∂θ2
so for canonical exponential families the method of scoring and the
method of Newton–Raphson coincide.
If we let v (θ) = c 00 (θ) = I (θ) = V(t(X )) the iteration becomes
θ ← θ + v (θ)−1 S(θ)/n.
