Suppose that X1, X2,....Xn is an iid sample of size n from a Pareto pdf of the form 0-1) otherwise, where θ > 0. (a) Find θ the method of moments (MOM) estimator for θ For what values of θ does θ exist? Why? (b) Find θ, the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) for θ. (c) Show explicitly that the MLE depends on the sufficient statistic for this Pareto family but that the MOM estimator does not

3. Suppose that Xi,.... Xn is a random sample from a uniform distribution over [0,0) That is, 0 elsewhere Also suppose that the prior distribution of θ is a Pareto distribution with density 0 elsewhere where θ0 > 0 and α > 1. (a) Determine (b) Show , θ > max(T1 , . . . ,Zn,%) and hence deduce the posterior density of θ given x, . . . ,Zn is (c) Compute the mean of the posterior distribution and...
The Pareto probability distribution has many applications in economics, biology, and physics. Let β> 0 and δ> 0 be the population parameters, and let XI, X2, , Xn be a random sample from the distribution with probability density function zero otherwise. Suppose B is known Recall: a method of moments estimator of δ is δ = the maximum likelihood estimator of δ is δ In In X-in β has an Exponential (0--) distribution Suppose S is known Recall Fx(x) =...
