1 Exercise 93 / page 45 The desity of a variable X i i 1 is fx α α a For α kow let say equal to α α > fx α α x α Pr X i x < x < Usig a Pivotal Quatity: x α 1 < x < α > x α 1 ad We solve i a similar way as i Example 98 page 48 We get a ituitio that the method of pivotal quatities may work for this exercise by observig that is a scale parameter ad X/ is a variable that its distributio does ot deped o The latter ca be easily see by cosiderig the distributio of the variable Y X/ The x y ad < y < 1 ad f Y y α f X y α d y α dy y α 1 α y α 1 for < y < 1 For a kow α X is a suciet statistic for that ca be foud by usig the Factorizatio Theorem So the pivotal quatity ca be based o the sample oly through X The cumulative distributio of X is Pr X x Pr X 1 x X x idepedet α x < x < Pr X i x idetically distributed [Pr X i x] or alteratively oe ca use Theorem 544 page 9 to derive the distributio of X The cumulative distributio of the pivot quatity QX X Pr QX x Pr X x Pr X x x is α x α < x < 1 1 We eed to d a upper codece limit for ie a iterval of the form X UX The lower boud i this specic case is X because the support of the desity is < x < Observe that QX X is decreasig fuctio of Thus for a iterval with codece coeciet 95 we eed to d a value b such that Pr b < QX 95 where Pr QX > b 1 Pr QX b 1 b α Thus ad the 95% codece iterval is 1 b α 95 b α 5 b 5 1/α C : x < & 5 1/α < Qx : x < < x or x 5 1/α 1 : x < & 5 1/α < x x 5 1/α

2 By Pivotig a cotiuous CDF: We use Theorem 91 ad solve i a similar way as i Example 913 page 433 For a kow α X is a suciet statistic for ad its cumulative distributio is F X x x α < x < as we foud above F X x is a decreasig fuctio of for each x We are iterested i oe-sided iterval that gives a upper codece boud Applyig Theorem 91 for α 5 the upper boud U x is deed as follows: F X x U x 5 x U x Thus the 95% codece iterval for is x By Ivertig a Test Statistic: α 5 U x x 5 1/α x 5 1/α We solve i a similar way as i Example 93 page 43 Sice we eed a 95% upper codece iterval we eed to ivert the acceptace regio of a 5% test of the hypothesis H : H 1 : < where the parameter space of is B X As a test statistic we will use the LRT which is of the form: where λx sup L x α sup B L x α L x α fx i α α α 1 α 1 xi α x α i x < From exercise 71 we kow that the MLE of is X Thus λx sup L x α sup B L x α L x α L x x α α α α x α x i α 1 x i α 1 x α Note that the LRT depeds o the sample oly through x which is a suciet statistic for The rejectio regio is R x : λx c x : x α c

3 For a 5% test we have 5 sup Pr X R Pr X R Pr X Pr c 1/α c [1/α ]α c X α c use eq1 Therefore the rejectio regio of the 5% test is R x : x α 5 the acceptace regio is A x : x α > 5 x : x > 5 1/α ad the 95% codece iterval is Cx : x < < x 5 1/α or x x 5 1/α Note that i this exercise the codece itervals derived by all three methods are the same However this is ot always the case b Based o the data give i exercise ˆα MLE 159 ad x 14 5 Thus the 95% codece iterval is 5 C : 5 < < : 5 < < 543 or / Exercise 94 / page 45 Note that i this exercise λ is used to deote the LRT while λ is the value of the ratio λ σ Y /σ X uder H a Let θ be the vector parameter θ σx σ Y The parameter space of θ is the two-dimesioal space Θ σx σ Y : σ X σ Y > Uder H the parameter space is Θ σx σ Y : σ Y λ σx σ X σ Y > The LRT statistic for the hypothesis is: λx y sup L σx σ Y x y θ Θ L σx σ Y x y sup θ Θ For the deomiator supl σx σ Y x y we have to d the MLE of σ X ad σ Y The likelihood θ Θ fuctio is 3
