Question:Suppose that \({{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{, }}{\bf{. }}{\bf{. }}{\bf{. , }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{n}}}\) form n Bernoulli trials for which the parameter p is unknown (0≤p≤1). Show that the expectation of every function \({\bf{\delta }}\left( {{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{, }}{\bf{. }}{\bf{. }}{\bf{. , }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right)\)is a polynomial in p whose degree does not exceed n.

Short Answer

Expert verified

It is shown that expectation of every function \(\delta \left( {{X_1},{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }},{\bf{ }}{X_n}} \right)\)is a polynomial in p whose degree does not exceed n.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Let \({X_1},{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }},{\bf{ }}{X_n}\)follow a Bernoulli distribution with parameter p, that is,\({X_1},{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }},{\bf{ }}{X_n} \sim Ber\left( p \right)\). Here p lies from 0 to 1, that is, \(0 \le p \le 1\) .

02

Define the unbiased estimator of the parametric function

Let g(p) be an estimator function of p such that there exists an unbiased estimator of g(p).

Let us define the unbiased estimator of g(p).

Let\(\delta \left( {{X_1},{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }},{\bf{ }}{X_n}} \right)\)be the unbiased estimator of g(p).

By the definition, it follows,

\(E\left( {\delta \left( {{X_1},{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }},{\bf{ }}{X_n}} \right)} \right) = g\left( p \right)\,\,\forall \,\,p \in \left( {0,1} \right) \ldots \left( 1 \right)\)

03

Solving the equation further

Solving equation (1),

\(\begin{aligned}{}E\left( {\delta \left( {{X_1},{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }}.{\bf{ }},{\bf{ }}{X_n}} \right)} \right) &= g\left( p \right)\\ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{x = 0}^n {g\left( x \right)} \left( {{}^n{C_x}} \right){p^x}{\left( {1 - p} \right)^{n - x}} &= g\left( p \right)\\ \Rightarrow g\left( 0 \right)\left( {{}^n{C_0}} \right){p^0}{\left( {1 - p} \right)^{n - 0}} + \ldots + g\left( n \right)\left( {{}^n{C_n}} \right){p^n}{\left( {1 - p} \right)^{n - n}} &= g\left( p \right)\end{aligned}\)

We can check that the Left-Hand Side of the solved equation is a polynomial equation in p whose maximum degree is n.

For LHS to be equal to RHS, g(p) should also be a polynomial equation with its maximum degree being up to n.

Hence, it is shown that expectation of every function\({\bf{\delta }}\left( {{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{1}}}{\bf{, }}{\bf{. }}{\bf{. }}{\bf{. , }}{{\bf{X}}_{\bf{n}}}} \right)\)is a polynomial in p whose degree does not exceed n.

If a random variableXhas the\({\chi ^2}\)distribution withmdegrees of freedom, then the distribution of\({X^{\frac{1}{2}}}\)is called achi(\(\chi \)) distribution with m degrees of freedom. Determinethe mean of this distribution.

Prove that the distribution of\({\hat \sigma _0}^2\)in Examples 8.2.1and 8.2.2 is the gamma distribution with parameters\(\frac{n}{2}\)and\(\frac{n}{{2{\sigma ^2}}}\).

Suppose that\({X_1},...,{X_n}\)form a random sample from the normal distribution with unknown mean μ and unknown variance\({\sigma ^2}\). Describe a method for constructing a confidence interval for\({\sigma ^2}\)with a specified confidence coefficient\(\gamma \left( {0 < \gamma < 1} \right)\) .

Question: Suppose a random variable X has the Poisson distribution with an unknown mean \({\bf{\lambda }}\) (\({\bf{\lambda }}\)>0). Find a statistic \({\bf{\delta }}\left( {\bf{X}} \right)\) that will be an unbiased estimator of \({{\bf{e}}^{\bf{\lambda }}}\).Hint: If \({\bf{E}}\left( {{\bf{\delta }}\left( {\bf{X}} \right)} \right){\bf{ = }}{{\bf{e}}^{\bf{\lambda }}}\) , then \(\sum\limits_{{\bf{x = 0}}}^\infty {\frac{{{\bf{\delta }}\left( {\bf{x}} \right){{\bf{e}}^{{\bf{ - \lambda }}}}{{\bf{\lambda }}^{\bf{x}}}}}{{{\bf{x!}}}}} = {{\bf{e}}^{\bf{\lambda }}}\)

Multiply both sides of this equation by \({{\bf{e}}^{\bf{\lambda }}}\)expanding the right side in a power series in \({\bf{\lambda }}\), and then equate the coefficients of \({{\bf{\lambda }}^{\bf{x}}}\) on both sides of the equation for x = 0, 1, 2, . . ..

Suppose that each of two statisticians, A and B, independently takes a random sample of 20 observations from the normal distribution with unknown mean μ and known variance 4. Suppose also that statistician A finds the sample variance in his random sample to be 3.8, and statistician B finds the sample variance in her random sample to be 9.4. For which random sample is the sample mean likely to be closer to the unknown value of μ?
