Consider a uniform distribution on the interval 0≤ X ≤ θ. We are interested in estimated θ from a random sample of draws for the PDF. Two potential estimators are:
θ1 = (2/n) Ʃ Yi
and
θ2 = (n/θ)(y/θ)^(n-1)
which estimator would you prefer and why? What statistical properties did you use to decide?
Uniform distribution f(x)= 1/(B-A) for alpha < X < Beta
We use method of moments estimator and max likelihood estimator
