Suppose that X1,...,Xn ∼ U(0,θ); that is, a sample of N observations from a random variable with a uniform distribution where the lower bound is 0 and the upper bound θ is unknown. Find the maximum likelihood estimate of θ, also demonstrating this in R. Draw the pdf and the likelihood, and explain what they represent, in R.
