Fix θ > 0 and let Xi, , x, i d. Unif[0.0]. We saw in class that the MLE of θ, oMLE- I give two other estimators of θ, which can be made unbiased by appropriate choice of -C1 max(Xs , . . . , X,) max(X., Xn), is biased. constants C1,C2 We have two questions: (1) Find values of C1, C2 for which these estimators are unbiased. Note that Ci,C2 may depend on n (2) Which of these estimators...

Let X1, X2, ..., Xn be iid with pdf f(x|θ) = θ*x(θ-1). a) Find the Maximum Likelihood Estimator of θ, and b) show that its variance converges to 0 as n approaches infinity. I have no problem with part a, finding the MLE of θ. However, I'm having some trouble with finding the variance. The professor walked us through part b generally, but I need help with univariate transformation for sigma(-ln(xi)) (see picture below - the professor used Y=sigma(-ln(x)), and...
Let Xi be iid with E(Xi) = 0 and Var(Xi) = 1 and let Sn = X1 + … + Xn. Consider the limiting behaviors of Sn/n and of Sn /n. Does either of these correspond to the LLN? to the CLT? Demonstrate using UNIF(–3, 3).
