Let Θ ∼ Unif.([0, 2π]) and consider X = cos(Θ) and Y = sin(Θ). Can you find E[X], E[Y], and E[XY]? clearly, x and y are not independent I think E[X] = E[Y] = 0 but how do you find E[XY]?

This problem is to be done in R. When computing the bootstrap, there are two extremes we talked about in class: either completely enumerating all of the possible cases (which is computationally infeasible most of the time), or drawing of a few samples at random with possibility of repetition. In between these is an algorithm known as the Balanced Bootstrap. The algorithm goes as follows: Generate a list of B repetitions of each of the observations in our original data...

Consider Poisson distribution f(x|θ) = (e^−θ) [(θ^x) / (x!)] for x = 0, 1, 2, . . . Let the prior distribution for θ be f(θ) = e^−θ for θ > 0. (a) Show that the posterior distribution is a Gamma distribution. With what parameters? (b) Find the Bayes’ estimator for θ.

You cannot simulate 10000 values of U, where U ∼ Unif[0, 1]. The only thing you can do is simulate 10000 values of Y where Y ∼ f(y|θ) and f(y|θ) = 1/θ * e-y/θ . Is there any way you can simulate 10000 observations of X, where X is the number of heads in 3 flips of a coin where P(H) = .7 using only the simulated values of Y you have?

12- Explain the universality property of U ∼ Unif(0, 1). That is, given a continuous random X with fX(x) > 0 when x ∈ (a, b) and = 0 otherwise, use the CDF FX and U to construct a random variable Xˆ with the same distribution as that of X. Please show me step by step so i can understand it better with the concepts. Please Please clear writing so i can read it !!! Thank you.!!

Problem 1. (Bootstrap tests for goodness-of-fit)We saw in lecture that when it comes togoodness-of-fit (GOF) testing, it is quite “natural” to obtain a p-value by permutation. It is alsopossible, however, to use the bootstrap for that purpose. Consider the two-sample situation forsimplicity, although this generalizes to any number of samples. Thus assume a situation where weobserveX1, . . . , Xmiid fromFand (independently)Y1, . . . , Yniid fromG, whereFandGare twodistributions on the real line. We want to testF=GversusF6=G. We...

The random variable X is distributed with pdf fX(x, θ) = (2/θ^2)*x*exp(-(x/θ)2), where x>0 and θ>0. Please note the term within the exponential is -(x/θ)^2 and the first term includes a θ^2. a) Find the distribution of Y = (X1 + ... + Xn)/n where X1, ..., Xn is an i.i.d. sample from fX(x, θ). If you can’t find Y, can you find an approximation of Y when n is large? b) Find the best estimator, i.e. MVUE, of θ?

Suppose that X1,..., Xn form a random sample from the uniform distribution on the interval [0,θ], where the value of the parameter θ is unknown (θ>0). (1)What is the maximum likelihood estimator of θ? (2)Is this estimator unbiased? (Indeed, show that it underestimates the parameter.)
