Quotient of information matrices in comparison of linear experiments for quadratic estimation

Open Mathematics, 2017
The ordering of normal linear experiments with respect to quadratic estimation, introduced by Stępniak in [Ann. Inst. Statist. Math. A 49 (1997), 569-584], is extended here to the experiments involving the nuisance parameters. Typical experiments of this
