Question: Consider the simple Normal statistical model (Table 12.9). (a) Derive the MLEs of (, 2) and state their sampling distributions. (b) Derive the least-squares estimators
Consider the simple Normal statistical model (Table 12.9).
(a) Derive the MLEs of (μ, σ2) and state their sampling distributions.
(b) Derive the least-squares estimators of (μ, σ2) without the Normality assumption
[1] and their sampling distributions.
(c) Compare these estimators in terms of the optimal properties of (i) unbiasedness,
(ii) full efficiency, (iii) asymptotic Normality, and (iv) consistency.
