Suppose that X is a discrete random variable with pmf f(x) = (2 + ̘̘(2 - x)) / 6, x = 1, 2, 3, where the unknown parameter ̘̘ belongs to the parameter space ̘̘ = {-1, 0, 1}. Suppose further that a random sample X1, X2, X3, X4 is taken from this distribution, and the four observed values are {x1, x2, x3, x4} = {3, 2, 3, 1}. Find the maximum likelihood estimate of ̘̘.

The p.d.f. of a random variable X with parameter ̸ is given by: f(x) = x/̸ exp(-x^2/2̸) for x > 0 (a) Let {x1, ..., xn} be a random sample of size n taken from the above distribution. Find the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (M.L.E.) of ̸. (b) For this distribution the mean is known to be E(X) = sqrt(π̸/2). Find the Method of Moments estimator for ̸. (c) Suppose the researchers measurements were as follows: 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 8, 10, 12, 12, 12, 13 Estimate the parameter ̸, using part (a)s estimator and part (b)s estimator.
