2 Maximum Likelihood
Suppose we have n i.i.d (independent and identically distributed) data samples from the following
probability distribution. This problem asks you to build a log-likelihood function, and find the
maximum likelihood estimator of the parameter(s).
(a) Exponential distribution
The exponential distribution is defined as
1
P(x|3) - Ze -, with 0 <<∞
Please find the MLE of the parameter 3
(b) Pareto distribution[s]
The Pareto distribution has been used in economics for a density function with a slowly decaying
tail:
f(xxo,0)=0xox-0-1, * ≥ ro, 0>1
assume that o> 0 is given. Find the MLE of 0.
