2. Suppose you decide to randomly generate numbers from X ~ Unif (0,0). Your friend will ask for n numbers and then use this information to guess what value you (secretly) chose for θ. Typically, one might use θMLE-max Xi-X, to estimate θ. Your friend, however, has meganumerophobia, and is afraid to say the maximum number in the random sample. Instead he'll say the second largest number: θ-Xn-1. Determine the bias of this estimator by carefully finding the density function...

Consider three candidate estimators for 0. . X.-1x . 0.5 In the next three questions, you will consider potential strengths and weaknesses of these estimators. In this particular section (just for now), the phrase "efficiently computable" refers to the existence of an explicit formula. More precisely, here we say...
