Bias/variance of beta distribution question x1, . . . , xn are a random sample from the Beta(1, θ) distribution: f(x; θ) = θ(1 − x)^(θ−1) , 0 < x < 1. a) Give expressions, depending on θ and n alone, for the approximate bias and variance of the estimator from (a); the remainder terms, Rn, in the approximations should satisfy that nRn → 0. Is the estimator statistically consistent? Note: the method of moments estimator of θ based on...
