In: Statistics and Probability
Let X1,X2, . . . , Xn be a random sample from the uniform distribution with pdf f(x; θ1, θ2) = 1/(2θ2), θ1 − θ2 < x < θ1 + θ2, where −∞ < θ1 < ∞ and θ2 > 0, and the pdf is equal to zero elsewhere.
(a) Show that Y1 = min(Xi) and Yn = max(Xi), the joint sufficient statistics for θ1 and θ2, are complete.
(b) Find the MVUEs of θ1 and θ2.
