Abstract: | We evaluate the Fisher information (FI) contained in a collection of order statistics and their concomitants from a bivariate random sample. Special attention is given to Type II censored samples. We present a general decomposition result and recurrence relations that are useful in finding the FI in all types of censored samples. We also obtain some asymptotic results for the FI. For the bivariate normal parent, we obtain explicit and asymptotic expressions for the elements of the FI matrix for Type II censored samples. We discuss implications of our findings on inference on the bivariate normal parameters, especially on the correlation.
