The task is to prove that reparametrization of multivariable Fisher information with diffeomorphism $\eta: \Theta \rightarrow H$ is $$ I(\eta)=\bigg(\frac{\partial \theta^T}{\partial \eta}\bigg)I(\theta) \bigg(\frac{\partial \theta}{\partial \eta^T}\bigg), $$ for given $I(\theta)$.

My solution:

We know that multivariable Fisher information is $$ I(\theta)=\mathbb{E}\bigg\{\frac{\partial}{\partial\theta}\log{(f_\theta(x))}\bigg[\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta}\log{(f_\theta(x))}\bigg]^T\bigg\}. $$

We can apply chain rule $$ \frac{\partial}{\partial \eta}= \frac{\partial \theta}{\partial \eta}\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} \Rightarrow \frac{\partial}{\partial \theta} = \bigg(\frac{\partial \theta}{\partial \eta}\bigg)^{-1}\frac{\partial}{\partial \eta} %\theta'(\eta)\frac{\partial}{\partial\theta} $$

Applying it to the first equation and changing $\theta \mapsto \eta$ we obtain $$ I(\eta)=\mathbb{E}\bigg\{\frac{\partial\theta}{\partial\eta}\frac{\partial}{\partial\theta}\log{(f_\eta(x))}\bigg[\frac{\partial\theta}{\partial\eta}\frac{\partial}{\partial \theta}\log{(f_\eta(x))}\bigg]^T\bigg\}. $$ Now it's somewhere close to solution, what I would like to do is to take this $\big(\frac{\partial\theta}{\partial\eta}\big)$s out of the expected value and tell that it is done. But I don't think it is correct.

Can anyone help?

Here are the proof steps. The first 3 lines are a Binomial reparametrization example. You can ignore them, and they will not impact the proof below. However, it will help you to understand the proof when you feel confuse. (image with formulas)
