Covariate and Newton–Raphson adjustments for a normal correlation coefficient when the variances are known

Abstract

When the maximum likelihood estimator is computationally inconvenient, covariate and Newton–Raphson adjustment often provide algebraically explicit yet still asymptotically efficient estimators. The bivariate normal correlation coefficient with known variances is used to show that these methods may produce singularities that render the adjusted estimators unstable.
