In: Statistics and Probability
The random variable X is distributed with pdffX(x, θ) = c*x*exp(-(x/θ)2), where x>0 and θ>0. (Please note the equation includes the term -(x/θ)2 - that is -(x/θ)^2 if your computer doesn't work)
a) What is the constant c?
b) We consider parameter θ is a number. What is MLE and MOM of θ? Assume you have an i.i.d. sample. Is MOM unbiased?
c) Please calculate the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). Compare the variance of MOM with Crameer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB).
Note: If you do the equation using the term -(2x/θ) it is wrong. If you can't read the equation, please don't do the work. Thanks.
