The definition and meaning of the Fisher Information is a rather subtle but powerful mathematical concept. It should be thought of as a way to statistically measure a parameter. Based on our definition this information is again motivated as a type of variance, however it measures the fluctuations in the survival function itself. The Fisher information was proposed by Fisher as follows.
\begin{equation}
I(t)=\sum_i\gamma_i\left(\frac{d}{dt}[\ln\gamma_i]\right)^2 I(t)=\sum_i\gamma_i\left(\frac{d}{dt}\ln\gamma_i\right)^2
\end{equation}
