Question

3. Let $X_1, \dots, X_n$ are independent and identically distributed random variables, each with the distribution having PDF $f(x) = \frac{2x}{\theta^2} I_{0,\theta}(x)$ for any $x$, where $\theta > 0$ is some unknown parameter. (a) What is $E(X_i)$? (b) What is the method of moments estimator for $\theta$? (c) What is the maximum likelihood estimator for $\theta$? (d) Which of the estimators in (b) and (c) is better, for large sample sizes? Explain.

Step 1

In this case, the PDF is f(x) = (2x)/(\theta ^(2)) for 0 < x < \theta, and 0 otherwise. E(x_(i)) = ∫[x * f(x) dx] from 0 to \theta E(x_(i)) = ∫[x * (2x)/(\theta ^(2)) dx] from 0 to \theta E(x_(i)) = (2/\theta^2) ∫[x^2 dx] from 0 to \theta E(x_(i)) = (2/\theta^2) Show more…
