Confidence interval Concept Check

1 point possible (graded)

As in the previous section, let X1,…,Xn∼iidexp(λ). Let

λˆn:=n∑ni=1Xi

denote an estimator for λ. We know by now that λˆn is a consistent and asymptotically normal estimator for λ.

Recall qα/2 denote the 1−α/2 quantile of a standard Gaussian. By the Delta method:

λ∈[λˆn−qα/2λn−−√,λˆn+qα/2λn−−√]=:I

with probability 1−α. However, I is still not a confidence interval for λ.

Why is this the case?

Method of Moments Concept Question II 1 point possible (graded) Let (E,{Pθ}θ∈Θ) denote a statistical model associated to a statistical experiment X1,…,Xn∼iidPθ∗ where θ∗∈Θ is the true parameter. Assume that Θ⊂Rd for some d≥1. Let mk(θ):=E[Xk] where X∼Pθ. mk(θ) is referred to as the k-th moment of Pθ . Also define the moments map: ψ:Θ →Rd θ ↦(m1(θ),m2(θ),…,md(θ)). What conditions on ψ do we have to assume so that the method of moments produces a consistent and asymptotically normal estimator?...

Comparing Quantiles 1 point possible (graded) Let Z∼N(0,1). Then Z2∼χ21. The quantile qα(χ21) of the χ21−distibution is the number such that P(Z2>qα(χ21))=α. Find the quantiles of the χ21 distribution in terms of the quantiles of the normal distribution. That is, write qα(χ21) in terms of qα′(N(0,1)) where α′ is a function of α. (Enter q(alpha) for the quantile qα(N(0,1)) of the normal distribution.) qα(χ21)=
