2. Let X1, . . . , X10 be a random sample from a shifted exponential distribution with pdf
f(x | θ) = e−(x−θ), θ 􏰀 x < ∞. (a) Show that Y = min(Xi) = X(1) is the maximum likelihood estimator of θ. (b) Find the pdf of Y . (c) ShowthatE(Y)=θ+ 1 andthatY − 1 isanunbiasedestimatorofθ. (d) Compute Pr(θ < Y < θ + c) and use it to construct a 95% confidence interval for θ. (e) Where have you seen this example before? 3. Let X(1) < ··· < X(n) be the order statistics of n independent observations from the uniform distribution Unif(0, 1). (a) Find the pdf of X(1). (b) Verify that E(X(1)) = 1 . 4. Let X have a Laplace distribution with pdf f(x | θ) = 12e−|x−θ|. (This is also known as a double exponential distribution, can you see why?) Suppose we have a random sample of n observations on X. (a) Show that E(X) = θ and var(X) = 2. (Hint: 􏰣 ∞ z2e−zdz = 2) 0 (b) Consider the estimator, θˆ = X ̄ . Find its mean and variance. 1 (c) Consider the estimator, θˆ = Mˆ . Find its approximate mean and variance. 2 (d) Which estimator is better? (e) What is the maximum likelihood estimator of θ? 5. The following times (in minutes) between tram arrivals were observed at a particular tram stop: 0.67, 2.46, 1.00, 8.89, 8.85, 28.45, 2.95, 2.36, 0.37, 5.66, 6.26, 1.80, 1.88, 4.66 Find an approximate 95% confidence interval for the median and state its exact confidence level. You may use the following information: > pbinom(0:6, size = 14, prob = 0.5)
[1] 0.0001 0.0009 0.0065 0.0287 0.0898 0.2120 0.3953
> pbinom(13:7, size = 14, prob = 0.5)
[1] 0.9999 0.9991 0.9935 0.9713 0.9102 0.7880 0.6047
