For the numerator, by the linearity of differentiation and the log of products we have, NLN(0)=N(1N[logfX(X;0)])=N(1N[logn=1NfX(Xn;0)])=N(1Nn=1N[logfX(Xn;0)])=N(1Nn=1N[logfX(Xn;0)]E[logfX(X1;0)]).

MLE is popular for a number of theoretical reasons, one such reason being that MLE is asymtoptically efficient: in the limit, a maximum likelihood estimator achieves minimum possible variance or the CramrRao lower bound.
