In this second Errata Corrige, we would like to draw the reader’s attention to an error that we made in the derivation of the semiparametric Slepian-Bangs formula proposed in [1, Sect. IV]. Specifically, it is important to note that the expressions of the efficient semiparametric score vector $\bar{\mathbf{s}}_{\boldsymbol{\theta}_{0}}$ and the related semiparametric efficient FIM $\bar{\mathbf{I}}_{\boldsymbol{\theta}_{0}}$ derived in eqs. (43) and (46) of [1] are incorrect. In fact, in the derivation proposed in [1], the projection was incorrectly taken with respect to the “unconstrained” nuisance tangent space $\mathcal{T}_{g_{0}}^{u}$, whereas $\mathbf{s}_{\boldsymbol{\theta}_{0}}$ must be projected onto the “constrained” one, i.e. $\mathcal{T}_{\bar{g}_{0}}^{c}$.
