R] Question 3 [Sans Say that you observe a two random variables, x1 and x2, from the continuous uniform distribution of [0,0].The continuous uniform distribution has density 0 otherwise. We would like to find an estimator for θ based on the data x1 and x2 What is the mcan squared error of the estimator i+ 2 (b). Let i - max(1, a2). The density of the estimator is 0 otherwise. hat is the mean squared error of the estimator r?...
