Abstract

The Fisher information matrix plays a significant role in statistical inference in connection with estimation and properties of variance of estimators. In this paper, the parameter space of the t-distribution using its Fisher's matrix is defined. The Riemannian and scalar curvatures to parameter space are calculated.
