Description
- Solve problem 1.13 in the textbook.
- The Poisson distribution is where x is an integer value. The distribution satisfies E[x] = VAR[x] = λ.
(i) Calculate the maximum likelihood estimate of λ from an IID sample of size N: x1,…,xN. (ii) Calculate the mean and variance of the maximal likelihood estimator.
- Solve problem 1.30 in the textbook.
- Solve problem 2.10 in the textbook.
- Solve problem 2.38 in the textbook. This repeats and completes some calculations from classfor the Bayesian treatment of the mean for the Gaussian variable.
