3. Consider a random sample Yı, ,Yn from a Uniform[0, θ]. In class we discussed the method of ,y,). We moment estimator θ-2Y and the maximum likelihood estimator θ-maxx,Yo, derived the Bias and MSE for both estimators. With the intent to correct the bias of the mle θ we proposed the following new estimator -Imax where the subscript u stands for "unbiased." (a) Find the MSE of (b) Compare the MSE of θυ to the MSE of θ, the original...
1. Suppose that X Unif(0, 30) and we draw a random sample X1,..., Xn Find the MME and compute its relative efficiency to 6, = 2X1-3X2. 2. In class, I showed the below picture. Here, I have changed the vertical axis from variance to SD. In this new picture, how can we visualize the MSE? How does this way of seeing the MSE help us decide which of two (possibly biased) estimators is more efficient? SD 04 Bias (B) 0...

3. Suppose that the 5-year survival probability, X, for women with breast cancer who live in a rural county follows Beta distribution with probability density function (pdf) fx (20) = 0.00-1 where 0 < x < 1 and parameter 6 > 0. Let X1, ..., X, be a random sample of size n from a population of rural counties. Researchers intend to make statistical inference on the parameter 6 using collected data X1, ..., (a) Let Y; = – log(Xi)...
