ABSTRACT
We will show that Fisher's information matrix can be turned into a
powerful tool for the analysis of multivariate data. To date we have
shown that the eigenanalysis of this matrix, and other matrices derived
from it, can be employed in many standard multivariate analyses.
Examples include projection pursuit, independent components analysis,
graphical model fitting, covariate dimension reduction, and population
discrimination.
