Suppose that Xi, X2, , xn is an iid sample from a U(0,0) distribution, where θ 0. În turn, the parameter 0 is best regarded as a random variable with a Pareto(a, b) distribution, that is, bab 0, otherwise, where a 〉 0 and b 〉 0 are known. (a) Turn the "Bayesian crank" to find the posterior distribution of θ. I would probably start by working with a sufficient statistic (b) Find the posterior mean and use this as...

Suppose that X1, X2,....Xn is an iid sample of size n from a Pareto pdf of the form 0-1) otherwise, where θ > 0. (a) Find θ the method of moments (MOM) estimator for θ For what values of θ does θ exist? Why? (b) Find θ, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for θ. (c) Show explicitly that the MLE depends on the sufficient statistic for this Pareto family but that the MOM estimator does not
5. Let X1,.. ., Xn be a random sample from Uniform(0,0) with an unknown endpoint θ > 0, we want to estimate the parameter θ (a) Find the method of moments estimator (MME) of θ. (b) Find the MLE θ of θ (c) (R) Set the sample size as 25, do a simulation in R to compare these two esti- mators in terms of their bias and variance. Include a side-by-side boxplot that compares their sampling distributions
Specifically, suppose that Xi, X2, .., Xn denote n payments, modeled as iid random variables with common Weibull pdf 0, otherwise, where m > 0 is known and θ is unknown. In turn, suppose that θ ~ IG(α, β), that is, θ has an inverted gamma (prior) pdf 0, otherwise (a) Prove that the inverted gamma IG(α, β) prior is a conjugate prior for the Weibull family above.
