Definitions and UMVUE
Problem 3. Let Xi,.., Xn denote a random sample of size n > 1 from a distribution with pdf
fx(x)
(a) Determine the sufficient statistic for o2 using Neyman factorization.
(b) Use the defintion to confirm your answer in A.
(c) Find the MLE of g2
(d) Use MLE theory to determine the asymptotic distribution of a scaled version fo the MLE of o(not squared). Does the CLT give the same result?
(e) Use C. to identify the UMVUE for o2
(f) Identify two statistics that are independent from the sufficient statistic.
(g) Determine the uniformly most powerful test for testing Ho : o2 = o? vs Hio2 > o?
(h) Derive an expression for the power of the test in G.
