If you graph some Gamma(α,β) densities, you will notice that in some cases as t increases they increase from zero, reach a maximum, and then decrease. Use elementary calculus to find, forα >1, the value of t for which the density reaches a maximum. (This value of t is called the mode of the distribution.)

1. Suppose that Y ∼ Gamma(α, β) and c > 0 is a constant. (a) Derive the density function of U = cY. (b) Identify the distribution of U as a standard distribution. Be sure to identify any parameter values. (c) Can you find the distribution of U using MGF method also? I. Suppose that Y ~ Gamma(α, β) and c > 0 is a constant.

Suppose observations X1, X2,.. are recorded. We assume these to be conditionally independent and exponen- tially distributed given a parameter θ: Xi ~' Exponential(θ), for all i 1, . . . , n. The exponential distribution is controlled by one rate parameter θ > 0, and its density is for r ER+ 1. Plot the graph of p(x:0) for θ 1 in the interval x E [0,4] 2. What is the visual representation of the likelihood of individual data points?...
Can someone please explain this problem in detail. 6. If you look at some of graphs of the gamma distribution for various values of the parame- ters (α, β) (for example the ones at http://upload. wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e6/ Gamma_distribution pdf.svg ), you'll see that the graphs (mostly) tend to look "single-peaked" They start small, increase until they reach a maximum, then decrease thereafter. Show that as long as α > l this is indeed what happens, where is the peak located, in...

3. The graph below has axes to show the population sizes of a predator and its prey. The dashed lines are the predator and prey isoclines. Prey Population Starting at the circle, draw in what will happen to the two populations if they are following the pattern in the Lotka-Volterra model of predation. (Remember that BOTH predator and prey numbers are represented by a point on the graph.) Use a series of arrows to show what happens. 2. Imagine two...
MATLAB MATLAB MATLAB Model description The logistic map is a function that is often used to model population growth. It is defined by P(t+1) = rP(t) (1 -P(t)/K) Here, P(t) represents the density of a population at year 1, the parameter r is a growth rate and the parameter K is the maximum possible population density (known as the carrying capacity). This equation says that if we know the density at one year, we can substitute it into the right-hand...
