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...

Estimators' Properties A researcher knows a random variable X has E[X] = and V[X] = o both finite. Here the researcher knowns the true value for (so they don't have to estimate it) but does not know the value for o? and wants to estimate it. a) Consider the following estimator: Ż (X; – w.)? a) Use the weak law of large numbers to construct the probability limit of õ?. Is õ? a consistent estimator for o?? b) Is 72...
