1) Distribution is a uniform distribution on the interval (Ө, Ө+1)
Show that Ө1 is a consistent estimator of Ө. Ө1=Ῡ -.5
Show that Ө2 is a consistent estimator of Ө. Ө2=Yn – (n/(n+1)).

2) I think the distribution for this one is a uniform distribution on the interval (0, Ө) but I am not 100% sure.
Let Y1, Y2, …, Yn denote a random sample of size n from a power family distribution. Then the method in Section 6.7 imply that Yn=max(Y1, Y2, …, Yn ) has the distribution function of:
0, y<0
Fn(y)= (y/ Ө)^(αn) , 0 ≤ y ≤ Ө
1, y> Ө

Show that Yn is a consistent estimator of Ө.

For 1 and 2 you need to state the distribution being sampled.
 
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
