Exercise 1
In lecture (Mon 1/30), we showed that
for Bernoulli (p) distribution, the MLE estimator
p=i
is sufficient for the parameter p;
• for Uniform([a, b]), the MLE estimators
• Poisson(X)
• N(μ1,0²)
â = y₁ = min(x₁, · · , £n), b = Yn = 1 max(T₁,..., In)
are jointly sufficient for the parameters a, b.
In this exercise, you will deduce similar results for the following four distributions:
• Exp(X)
• Geometric (p)
(i) For each of these four distributions, write down their likelihood functions. (Hint: the
log-likelihood functions for these distributions were computed in previous lecture and
homework.)
(ii) Use the Fisher-Neyman factorization theorem to show that is a sufficient statistic
for each of the first three distributions.
(iii) Show that 1/7 is also a sufficient statistic for each of these three distributions.
(iv) Use the Fisher-Neyman factorization theorem to show that I, v are a pair of jointly
sufficient statistics for N(μ, 0²).
