How to show or prove that ˆθ = −n/ Σ(ln(Xi)) is the mle of θ?

 

PLEASE DO NOT REJECT QUESTION IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!

Let \( X_1, \ldots, X_n \) be a random sample from a Beta(\(\theta, 1\)) distribution, where \(\theta > 0\).

(a) Show that \( \hat{\theta} = \frac{n}{\sum_{i=1}^n \ln X_i} \) is the MLE (maximum likelihood estimator) of \(\theta\).

(b) Find the distribution of \( Y = - \ln X \) (using section 1.7).

(c) Use Part (b) to show that \( W = -\sum_{i=1}^n \ln X_i \) has a gamma distribution \(\Gamma(n, 1/\theta)\).

(d) Show that \( 2\theta W \) has a \(\chi^2(2n)\) distribution.

(e) Using Part (d), find \( c_1, c_2 \) so that 
\[ P \left( c_1 < \frac{2\theta n}{\hat{\theta}} < c_2 \right) = 1 - \alpha, \]
for \( \alpha \in (0, 1) \). Next obtain a \( (1-\alpha)100\% \) confidence interval for \(\theta\).

(f) For \( \alpha = 0.02 \) and \( n = 15 \), compare the length of this interval with the length of the interval found in Example 6.2.6.

Statistics homework question answer, step 1, image 1

fx=xθ-1(1-x)1-1B(θ,1),0<x<1

Consider the likelihood function,

L(θ)=i=1nf(x)      =i=1nxθ-1B(θ,1)     =1B(θ,1)ni=1nxθ-1
