Let X ~ Geometric (p) where 0 < p <1

a) Show explicitly that this family is “very regular,” that is, that R0,R1,R2,R3,R4 hold.

R 0 - different parameter values have different functions.

R 1 - parameter space does not contain its own endpoints.

R 2. - the set of points x where f (x, p) is not zero and should not depend on p.

R 3. One derivative can be found with respect to p.

R 4. Two derivatives can be found with respect to p.

b) Find the maximum likelihood estimator of p, call it Yn for this problem.

c) Is Yn unbiased? Explain.

d) Show that Yn is consistent asymptotically normal and identify the asymptotic normal variance.

e) Variance-stabilize your result in (d) or show there is no need to do so.

f) Compute I (p) where I is Fisher’s Information.

g) Compute the efficiency of Yn for p (or show that you should not!).

A geometric distribution has a pdf given by P(X=x) = p(1-p)^x, where x = 0, 1, 2, ..., and 0 < p < 1. This form of the geometric starts at x = 0, not at x = 1. Given are the following properties: E(X) = (1-p)/p, and Var(X) = (1-p)/p^2 A random sample of size n is drawn; the data are X1, X2, ..., Xn. A. Derive the Fisher information function for the parameter p. B. Find the Cramér-Rao...

Let X~Geometric(p), with parameter p unknown, 0<p<1. a) Find I(p), the Fisher Information in X about p. b) Suppose that pˆ is some unbiased estimator of p. Determine the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound for Var p[ ]ˆ based on one observation from this distribution. c) Show that p= I {1}(X) is an unbiased estimator of p. Does its variance achieve the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound?
