Let X = ( X1, X2, X3, ,,,, Xn ) is iid,
f(x, a, b) = 1/ab * (x/a)^{(1-b)/b} 0 <= x <= a ,,,,, b
< 1
then,
- Show the density of the statistic T = X(n) is given by
FX(n) (x) = n/ab * (x/a)^{n/(b-1}} for 0 <= x <=
a ; otherwise zero.
# using the following
P (X(n) < x ) = P (X1 < x, X2 < x, ,,,,,,,,, Xn < x
),
- Then assume b is known. Show that X(n) is sufficient and
complete for a.
- Hence, or otherwise compute the UMVUE of a.
# useful to compute E(X(n))
