1. Consider a GLM (generalised linear model) for a Poisson random sample Y1,. .. , Y, with \Vi each Yi having a pdf or pmf f(y; A;) = i= 1, . .. ,n. Yi = 0, 1,2, -..; ^; > 0; Y;! Note that the pdf from an exponential family has the following general form b(0) + c(y, a(o) y0 exp f(y; 0, 6) = Suppose the linear predictor of the GLM is n = a+Bxi, with (a,B) being the...
I. Consider a variable y = θ + where θ is an unknown parameter and e is a random variable with mean zero. (a) What is the expected value of y? (b) Suppose you draw a sample of yi yn.

In class, we showed that the MLE of the mean of a random sample {yi, y2, ..., Yn} from an N(u, 6-) population is exactly the sample average (i.e., û = y). Show that the MLE for the standard deviation is: 1 n @ = – Ëly;-)) ? V ni=1 Hint: Find the partial derivative of the likelihood function with respect to o, then set this equal to zero and solve for o. The result will be a function of...
