Additional Question Fix θ > 0 and let X1, . . . , Xn i.i.d. ∼ Unif[0, θ]. We saw in class that the MLE of θ, ˆθMLE = max(X1, . . . , Xn), is biased. I give two other estimators of θ, which can be made unbiased by appropriate choice of constants C1, C2: ˆθ1 = C1 max(X1, . . . , Xn) and ˆθ2 = C2Σxi
We have two questions: (1) Find values of C1, C2 for which these estimators are unbiased. Note that C1, C2 may depend on n.
(2) Which of these estimators is “better”? Provide some justification. Note that this question has many possible answers, as there are many ways that one estimator can be “better” than another. You should supply a reasonable criterion, then figure out which one is better according to this criterion.

Let X1. . . . Xn be i.i.d Uniform over the interval (θ, θ + 1].Show that X(1)+X(n) )/2- 1/2 is also an unbiased estimator of θ, whereX(1) is the minimum order statistic and X(n) is the maximum order statistic. If X - 1/2 is also an unbiased estimator of θ which of the two estimators would you prefer to use.

Let X1, ..., Xn be independent N(θ, θ^2) random variables where θ > 0 is a parameter. Find the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) of the parameter θ. Is the estimator of θ: a) unbiased? b) efficient? c) sufficient? d) consistent? Justify your answers. Include the definitions and theorems that you use in your answers. When working through this problem we had an issue with finding a MLE that didn't involve an imaginary number.

Suppose X1, X2, . . . , Xn are a random sample from a Uniform(0, θ) distribution, where θ > 0. Consider two different estimators of θ: R1 = 2X¯ R2 =(n + 1)/n max(X1, . . . , Xn) (a) For each of the estimators R1 and R2, assess whether it is an unbiased estimator of θ. (b) Compute the variances of R1 and R2. Under what conditions will R2 have a smaller variance than R1?

Let X1, ..., Xn be IID observations from Uniform(0, θ). T(X) = max(X1, . . . Xn) is a sufficient statistic (additionally, T is the MLE for θ). Find a (1 − α)-level confidence interval for θ. [Note: The support of this distribution changes depending on the value of θ, so we cannot use Fisher’s approximation for the MLE because not all of the regularity assumptions hold.]
