This lecture covers the concept of maximum likelihood estimation, which is a general method for estimating parameters in statistical models. It includes discussions on Bernoulli distribution, log-likelihood, Fisher information, bias, variance, and mean squared error. The instructor explains the importance of maximizing the log-likelihood function, calculating observed and expected information, and assessing the consistency of estimators.
