Question:

Given that Y follows a distribution in the exponential family of form in (8.2), show that E(Y ) = b 0 (θ) and Var(Y ) = b 00(θ)a(φ) by using the following two general likelihood results E µ ∂L ∂θ ¶ = 0 and − E µ ∂ 2L ∂θ2 ¶ = E µ ∂L ∂θ ¶2 ,

The two equations in (8.32) hold under some regularity conditions given in Sec. 4.8 of Cox and Hinkley (1974).
