1. Assume that individual lifetime T follows a Geometric distribution: P(T = x) = (1 − A)¹-¹a, for _x=1,2,..., with 0 << 1. We are interested in estimating the survival probability S(x) := P(T ≥ x) at age of x and the intensity from a given n independent observations T₁,...,Tn of T. (a) Show that the mortality rate (x) = P(T = x|T ≥ x) does not depend on the age, i.e., λ(x) = λ for all x. (b) Write down the likelihood and log-likelihood function of the observations {T}. (c) Show that the maximum likelihood estimation A, is given by An J(X) = (d) Show that is a consistent estimator of λ. (e) Show that the observed Fisher Information J() is given by n 2² + (1 n 71 Σ Ti 1 (T₁ - 1). (f) Find an estimate of the variance Var(n).
