- Suppose
are iid
and
are iid
.
- Find complete and sufficient statistics.
- Find UMVUE's of
and
.
- Now suppose you know that
. Find UMVUE's of
and of
. (You have already found
the UMVUE for
.)
- Now suppose
and
are unknown but that you
know that
. Prove there is no UMVUE for
.
(Hint: Find the UMVUE if you knew
with a known.
Use the fact that the solution depends on a to finish the proof.)
- Why doesn't the Lehmann-Scheffé theorem apply?
- Suppose
iid Poisson(
). Find the
UMVUE for
and for
.
- Let
be the error sum of squares in the ith cell in the
question 5 of Assignment 5.
- Find the joint density of the
.
- Find the best estimate of
of the form
in the sense of mean squared error.
- Do the same under the condition that the estimator must be unbiased.
- If only
are observed what is the MLE of
?
- Find the UMVUE of
for the usual one-way layout model,
that is, the model of the last two questions.
- Exponential families: Suppose
are iid with density

- Find minimal sufficient statistics.
- If
are the minimal sufficient statistics show
that setting
and solving gives the
likelihood equations. (Note the connection to the method of moments.)
