Improving  Fisher’s scoring method with two -step iterations for a one -parameter case

Sakakihara, Michio and Kuroda, Masahiro

The Fisher’s scoring method is one of most popular iterative methods for seeking parameters in density functions from an observed data set. In this note, we present some improved method via 3rd order iterative methods for univariate non-linear equations. By showing some numerical result for the muon decay problem, it is shown the efficiency of the present modification.
