Abstract
Abstract An informal discussion is given on performing an unconstrained maximization or solving non‐linear equations of statistics by iterative methods with the quadratic termination property. It is shown that if a miximized function, e.g. likelihood, is asymptotically quadratic, then for asymptotically efficient inference finitely many iterations are needed.
