How to show or prove that 2θW has χ2(2n) distribution?

 

 

Please do not reject question if you do not know how to solve this problem. Allow another expert a chance to answer this question.

Consider the scenario where \( X_1, \dots, X_n \) is a random sample from the Beta(\(\theta, 1\)) distribution, where \(\theta > 0\).

**Task Descriptions:**

(a) **Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE):**  
Show that the estimator  
\[
\hat{\theta} = \frac{n}{\sum_{i=1}^n \ln X_i}
\]  
is the MLE of \(\theta\).

(b) **Distribution Identification:**  
Find the distribution of \( Y = - \ln X \) by referring to section 1.7.

(c) **Gamma Distribution Verification:**  
Utilize the result from part (b) to demonstrate that  
\[
W = - \sum_{i=1}^n \ln X_i
\]  
follows a gamma distribution \(\Gamma(n, 1/\theta)\).

(d) **Chi-Squared Distribution Validation:**  
Establish that \( 2\theta W \) follows a chi-squared distribution \(\chi^2(2n)\).

(e) **Confidence Interval Derivation:**  
Using the result from part (d), identify \( c_1, c_2 \) such that 
\[
P\left( c_1 < \frac{2\theta n}{\hat{\theta}} < c_2 \right) = 1 - \alpha,
\] 
for \(\alpha \in (0,1)\). Subsequently, derive a \((1-\alpha)100\%\) confidence interval for \(\theta\).

(f) **Interval Length Comparison:**  
For \(\alpha = 0.02\) and \( n = 15 \), compare the length of this interval with that obtained in Example 6.2.6.

**Instructions for Using This Material:**

- Follow each part sequentially, using previous results to build understanding.
- Apply theoretical understanding of probability distributions to derive results. 
- Extend concepts learned to related problems and examples for deeper comprehension.
- Employ statistical software or tables as necessary to compute specific probabilities or quantiles.
