2. Recap: Maximum Likelihood Estimators and Fisher information Bookmark this page Instructions: For each of the following distributions, compute the maximum likelihood estimator based on n i.i.d. observations X1,..., Xn and the Fisher information, if defined. If it is not enter DNE in each applicable input box. (d) 7 points possible (graded) X; ~N (u,0?), u ER, o? > 0, which means that each X1 has density Hint: Keep in mind that we consider o? as the parameter, not o....
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...
7. Let X1,....Xn random sample from a Bernoulli distribution with parameter p. A random variable X with Bernoulli distribution has a probability mass function (pmf) of with E(X) = p and Var(X) = p(1-p). (a) Find the method of moments (MOM) estimator of p. (b) Find a sufficient statistic for p. (Hint: Be careful when you write the joint pmf. Don't forget to sum the whole power of each term, that is, for the second term you will have (1...
Let X1...Xn be a random sample from a continuous distribution with Lomax PDF with gamma=2 a) determine the maximum likelihood estimator of alpha b) determine the estimator of alpha using the method of moments
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....
14. For each of the following distributions, derive a general expression for the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE). Carry out the second derivative test to make sure you really have a maximum. Then use the data to calculate a numerical estimate. (a) p(z) = θ(1-θ)" forェ= 0, 1, , where 0 < θ < 1 . Data: 4, o, 1, o, 1, 3, (b) f(x)-гет forz > 1, where cr > 0.

Please help a) How many parameters does a mixture of m Gaussians have? b) Let x1, . . . , xn be n observations drawn from a mixture of m Gaussians. Write down the log-likelihood function. (Hint: it should involve two summations.) c) Let 1 ≤ k ≤ m. Show that the maximum likelihood estimator for µk is given b and d) A mixture of m univariate Gaussians has the PDF TIL where each P3 > 0 and Σ-1 pi-|...
ABayes Is the confidence Region R(a,b) symmetric around the Bayesian estimatorA , as defined earlier? Why or Why not? (a)Yes, because by construction, confidence intervals and hence confidence regions are symmetric around any consistent of the parameter (b)Yes, because our posterior distribution is symmetric and we chose a and b such that (-o0, a) and (b,oo) have an equal 5% Probability. (c)No, because our posterior distribution is not symmetric (it is either skewed to the left or skewed to the...
