Let X1 , . . . , xn be n iid. random variables with distribution N (θ, θ) for some unknown θ > 0. In the last homework, you have computed the maximum likelihood estimator θ for θ in terms of the sample averages of the linear and quadratic means, i.e. Xn and X,and applied the CLT and delta method to find its asymptotic variance. In this problem, you will compute the asymptotic variance of θ via the Fisher Information....

Concept Question: Maximum Likelihood Estimator for the Laplace distribution 1 point possible (graded) As in the previous problem, let mn MLE denote the MLE for an unknown parameter m* of a Laplace distribution. MLE Can we apply the theorem for the asymptotic normality of the MLE to mn? (You must choose the correct answer that also has the correct explanation.) No, because the log-likelihood is not concave. No, because the log-likelihood is not twice-differentiable, so the Fisher information does not...
