Let Yı, Y2, ...,Yn be an iid sample from a population distribution described by the pdf fy(y|0) = (@+ 1) yº, o<y<1 for 0> - -1. (a) Find the MOM estimator of 0. (b) Find the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of 0. (c) Find the MLE of the population mean E(Y) = 0 +1 0 + 2 You do not need to prove that the above is true. Just find its MLE.
Suppose that X1, X2,....Xn is an iid sample of size n from a Pareto pdf of the form 0-1) otherwise, where θ > 0. (a) Find θ the method of moments (MOM) estimator for θ For what values of θ does θ exist? Why? (b) Find θ, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for θ. (c) Show explicitly that the MLE depends on the sufficient statistic for this Pareto family but that the MOM estimator does not
Let Yı,Y2, ..., Yn be iid from a population following the shifted exponential distribution with scale parameter B = 1. The pdf of the population distribution is given by fy(y\0) = y-0) = e x I(y > 0). The "shift" @ > 0 is the only unknown parameter. (a) Find L(@ly), the likelihood function of 0.
