Homework Statement
y=x+z
where the pdf of z is exp(-v-2) for v >= 2 and 0 otherwise and x is just an unknown constant
what is the MLE of z which maximizes the condition density f_v(y-x)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
f_v(y-x) = integral of -2+x to infinity of exp(-y+x-2) dy = exp(2x) but maximizing this would mean x = infinity?
