QUESTION 7 Let Y,, Y2,..., Yn denote a random sample of size n from a population whose density is given by (a) Find an estimator for 0 by the maximum likelihood method. (b) Find the maximum likelihood estimator for E(Y4).
iid Let Yı, Y2, ..., Yn N(u,), where the population mean y and population variance o are both unknown. Show that the Method of Moments (MOM) estimators of u and o? are given by n i =Y, Y n =1 72 = n-1 S2 (Y; -Y) n n i=1 Note: In this case, (Y, S?) is a sufficient statistic for (u, o?). The MOM estimators of u and o2 are therefore functions of a sufficient statistic.
