Question

2 Suppose that we observe the continuous random variable X (X1,.., Xn) with state space S, whose distribution we do not know but we are assuming that its p.d.f. belongs to a known family of distributions {fe;Be Θ). We construct an estimator for the unknown parameter θ(X) (a) Explain why it is wrong to write E(ex) and correct it. 12 marks (b) Explain the difference between pdf and likelihood function. [1 mark] (c) Explain the different between estimate and estimator. [1 mark d) In point estimation, we are aiming to find the estimator that minimises a given cost function. What parameters does the cost function depend on? State the exact optimisation problem, describing the range of these parameters. [2 marks
