3. Let Y1, . . . , Yn ~ i.i.d. random variables from the following distribution: f ( y | ? ) = ? y?-1 for 0 < y < 1; ? > 0 A. Write down the likelihood L(?). B. Find the Method of Moments estimate for ?. C. Find the Maximum Likelihood Estimate for ?. D. How does the MOM depend on the data? (What is the function of the data that appears in the MOM?) Similarly, how does the MLE depend on the data? Do you expect these two estimators to give the same estimate for ? in a given sample from the density f ( y | ? ). Explain. E. Use R to graph the likelihood as a function of theta.

Let X1, ..., Xn be a random sample from a Bernoulli distribution with parameter p. A random variable X with Bernoulli distribution has a probability mass function (pmf) of p(x;p) = p^x(1 - p)^(1-x) x = 0, 1, with E(X) = p and Var(X) = p(1 - p). (a) Find the method of moments (MOM) estimator of p. (b) Find a sufficient statistic for p. (Hint: Be careful when you write the joint pmf. Don't forget to sum the whole power of each term, that is, for the second term you will have (1 - p)^(n-Σxi) and not (1 - p)^(1-Σxi)) (c) Find the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of p. (Remember that you already found an expression for the joint pmf in part (b).) (d) Find the Fisher information for the random sample of the parameter p. (e) What is the Cramer Rao Lower Bound for an unbiased estimator of the parameter p? (f) Is the MLE of part (c) a minimum variance unbiased estimator (MVUE) of p?

Find the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) of θin the following probabilistic density functions. In each case, consider a random sample of size n. Show your calculation: (b) f(x|α,θ) = αθ^(−α) * x^(θ−1),x ≥0,α > 0,θ > 0

(c) Show that $\hat{\theta}=3 \bar{X}$ is an unbiased estimator for $\theta$. (d) Find the maximum likelihood estimator for $\theta$.
