Document Summary
Due date: monday, 30 sep, 2013 at noon. This assignment consists of two parts: likelihood questions 1+2, online quiz related to descriptive statistics/ graphs. Upload your solution to the likelihood questions into the online course dropbox by the due date (please use either a pdf or a word document). For the quiz you have 3 attempts (3 times pressing the submit button. You can save the quiz and continue on a different day. There are no course grades associated with the assignment. We record the theoretical grades only to see which questions are difficult for you and how many students participate: suppose we have a bernoulli r. v ( Let x = number of trials before the 1st success occurs. Given a data set the r. v x as defined above, (a) construct the likelihood function (b) construct the log-likelihood and the relative likelihood function. (c) find the mle for. {x1,x2,xn} where each xis are independent draws from: (more challenging) suppose.
