Determine the Maximum Likelihood Estimator for;

1. λ for the Poisson distribution.

2. θ for the Exponential distribution.

Caveat: These are examples of distributions for which the MLE can be found analytically in terms of the data x1, . . . , xn and so no advanced computational methods are required and also in each assume a random sample of size n, x1, x2, . . . , xn

The exponential distribution with rateλhas meanμ= 1/λ. Thus the method of moments estimator of λ is 1/X. Use the following steps to verify that X is unbiased, but 1/X is biased. USING R: a) Generate 10000 samples of size n= 5 from the standard exponential distribution (i.e.λ= 1) using rexp(50000) and arranging the 50000 random numbers in a matrix with 5 rows. b) Use the apply() function to compute the 10000 sample means and store them in the object means....

Question: (Bayesian) Suppose that X is Poisson(λ + 1), and the prior distribution of λ is binomial(2,1/3). (a) Find the Bayesian estimate of λ for mean square loss based on the single observation X, if X = 1. (b) Find the Bayesian estimate of λ for mean square loss based on the single observation X, if X = 2 Hints: Because of its prior distribution, λ can take only three values, 0,1,2. Don’t expect its posterior distribution to be any...

The number of imperfections in an object has a Poisson distribution with a mean λ = 8.5. If the number of imperfections is 4 or less, the object is called "top quality." If the number of imperfections is between 5 and 8 inclusive, the object is called "good quality." If the number of imperfections is between 9 and 12 inclusive, the object is called "normal quality." If the number of imperfections is 13 or more, the object is called "bad...

For the Poisson Distribution a. Is λ×T a parameter of position, scale, shape or a combination? Explain. b. We can treat “λ×T” as a single parameter, but they actually represent two parameters: λ and T. Say you stand by the side of the road and count the number of cars that pass by you in one minute.
