| ``Likelihood Equations''

| Hi,
I think the expection of the score function will always be zero, only the variance is affected by the parameter.
I think the likelihood equations should be "score(\theta) = 0", not "expect(score(\theta)) = 0". If you do the integration necessary in computing the expectation, you end up differentiating a constant and thus get zero.
Am I wrong?
Thanks,
Greg
