Question

1.1 Refer to Example 6(1) and justify the statement made there that xis, indeed, the MLE of Let X, , X, be a random sample from the Uniform ua, β) (a < β) distribution, where only one of a and β is unknown. Determine the MLE of the (unknown) parameter

(i) Let a be unknown. Since where x(1) = min(x1, , xn), x(..) = max(x1, , xn); or Maximization of L(2 x) with respect to a means two things: Maximization of 1 , )(X) ) and maximization of 1/ β of The maximum value of the former quantity is 1 and occurs as long as α x(1) The latter quantity gets larger and larger as a gets closer and closer to But always α x(1). In other (1) ), and a is subject to the restriction α words, the MLE of a isa Thus, a gets closest to , i (ii) Let ß be unknown. Relation (2) then becomes (n)-p. Then, arguing as in the first case, we have that the MLE of β is β= x(a)

All that needs to be proved is that x(n) is, indeed, the MLB of Beta
