- 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.
