To show an estimator can be consistent without being unbiased or even asymptotically unbiased, consider the following estimation procedure: To estimate the mean of a population with the finite variance σ 2 , we first take a random sample of size n . Then, we randomly draw one of n slips of paper numbered from 1 through n , and • if the number we draw is 2, 3, ··· , or n , we use as our estimator the...

Please answer as neatly as possible. Much thanks in advance! Question 1: 6. In Problem 1, show that θ2 is a consistent estimator for θ. Deduce that Y(n) is a consistent estimator for θ and also asyınpt○tically unbiased estimator for θ. 1. Let Yi, ½, . . . ,y, denote a random sample from an uniform distribution on the interval (0,0). We have seen that (1) and 62 Ym are unbiased estimators for 0. Find the efficiency of 6 relative...
Find a consistent estimator of µ 2 , where E(Y ) = µ is the population mean and Y¯ n is the sample mean. 2 If E(Y 2 ) = µ 0 2 then prove that 1 n Pn i=1 Y 2 i is an consistent estimator of µ 0 2 3 We define σ 2 = µ 0 2 − µ 2 . Show that S 2 n = 1 n Pn i=1 Y 2 i − Y¯ 2...
I1. Follow the steps below to show that the pooled estimator $p is an unbi- ased estimator for the common standard deviation of two independent sam ples Let Yi, Yi2, ..., Yini denote the random sample of size n from the first population with population mean μ| and population variance σ, and let Y21, Y22, ..., Y2na denote an independent random sample of size n2 from the second population with population mean μ2 and population mean ơ3. Sup- pose that...
3. You have two independent random samples: XiXX from a population with mean In and variance σ2 and Y, Y2, , , , , Y,n from a population with mean μ2 and variance σ2. Note that the two populations share a common variance. The two sample variances are Si for the first sample and Si for the second. We know that each of these is an unbiased estimator of the common population variance σ2, we also know that both of...
Show that the mean of a random sample of size n is a minimum variance unbiased estimator of the parameter (lambda) of a Poisson population.
2. (a) Define the bias of ˆ θ as an estimator for the parameter θ. [2 marks] (b) For independent random variables X1,X2,...,Xn, assume that E(Xi) = µ and var(Xi) = σ2, i = 1,...,n. (i) Show that ˆ µ1 = {(X1+Xn)/2}is an unbiased estimator for µ and determine its variance. [3 marks] (ii) Find the relative efficiency of ˆ µ1 to the unbiased estimator ˆ µ2 = X, the sample mean.
