Properties of a regular family of parameterized distribution

A family of parameterized distribution defined by
P={pθ(y)|θΘRP}
is regular if it satisfies the following conditions
  1. Support of pθ(y) does not depend on θ for all θΘ
  2. θpθ(y) exists
  3. Optional 2θ2pθ(y) exists
Note θlnpθ(y)=1pθ(y)θpθ(y)(4)
Define the score function (log := natural log)
Sθ(y):=θlogpθ(y)
Note also
Eθ{1}=1=Ypθ(y)dy
As a result of the above we have (Kay's definition of regular)
0=θEθ{1}=θpθ(y)dy1=θpθ(y)dy2,4=pθ(y)θlogpθ(y)dy=Eθ{Sθ(y)}
