Given are random sample from the uniform distribution . That is
And the prior distribution of is Pareto distributed as ,
Where
a) The joint PDF of given is
b) The posterior distribution of is
Thus the posterior PDF of is
The proof is complete. This is a Pareto distribution.
c) The mean of the posterior( Bayes estimator) distribution is
The posterior mean or Bayes estimator is found as above
We are required to solve only 4 parts. Please post the remaining questions as another post.

Assuming squared error loss, derive that Bayes estimator of θ with respect to the prior distribution P(α.θο), the two-parameter Pareto model specified in (3.36), first by explicitly deriving the marginal probability mass function of X, obtaining an expression for the posterior density of θ and evaluating E(θ x) and secondly by identifying g(θ|x) by inspection and noting that it is a familiar distribution with a known mean.

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.
