Cramer--Rao information plane of orthogonal hypergeometric polynomials (Q2573479)

The classical hypergeometric polynomials \(\{p\,_n(x)\}^\infty_{n=0}\), which are orthogonal with respect to a weight function \(\omega(x)\) defined on a real interval, are analyzed in the Cramer-Rao information plane, that is the plane defined by both Fisher information and variance of the probability density \(\rho\,_n(x)=p\,_n(x)^2\,\omega(x)\). The Rakhmanov density \(\rho_n(x)\) of these polynomials, which describes the probability density of the quantum states for various physical prototypes in an exact manner and for numerous physical systems to a very good approximation, is discussed in detail.
