Homework Statement
pdf: f(x)=ax^(a-1) ; 0<x<1, a>0
estimate a by maximum likelihood
Homework Equations
let L be maximum likelihood
L=(a(x[1])^(a-1))(a(x[2])^(a-1))...(a(x[n])^(a-1))
The Attempt at a Solution
Im trying to make this into a nicer expression:
L=a^n... (now I am stuck)
Any help would be v much appreciated.
Thank you.
