Question

1. Suppose that Xi,..,Xn are independent Exponential random variables with density f(x; λ) λ exp(-1x) for x > 0 where λ > 0 is an unknown parameter (a) Show that the τ quantile of the Exponential distribution is F-1 (r)--X1 In(1-7) and give an approximation to Var(X(k)) for k/n-T. What happens to this variance as τ moves from 0 to 1? (b) The form of the quantile function in part (a) can be used to give a quantile-quantile (QQ) plot to graphically assess whether the Exponential model is reasonable for a given data set. Specifically, ifZg) < X(2) < < x(n) are the ordered data, we can plot x(k) versus In(1Tk) (for k-1, --, n) where Tk(k - 3/8)/(n +1/4) (or something similar); if the data are Exponential then the points should fall close to a straight line (with slope λ-1 and y-intercept 0 A simple R function to implement this Exponential QQ plot is given on Quercus - feel free to modify it as you wish. Using both Exponential (which can be generated in R by x rgamma (n,1) where n is the sample size) and non-Exponential data with different sample sizes, get a feel for how this QQ plot works. (Some suggestions will be given on Quercus.) Comment on the qualitative differences in the QQ plot between Exponential and non-Exponential data. (Later in the course, we will discuss some more objective approaches
