Poisson Distribution

a. Using the MGF for the Poisson derived in problem 2.14c one gets Mx(t) = ex(e‘“1).

Differentiating with respect to t yields MX(t) = ex(et-1}Xe‘.

Evaluating MX(t) at t = 0, we get Mx(0) = E(X) = X.

Similarly, differentiating MX(t) once more with respect to t, we get

M'(t) = ex(e,-r) (Xef + ex(e,-r)Xe‘

evaluating it at t = 0 gives

M"(0) = X2 + X = E(X2)

so that var(X) = E(X2) - (E(X)2) = X2 + X - X2 = X.

Hence, the mean and variance of the Poisson are both equal to X.

b. The likelihood function is

n

so that

logL(X) = - nX + (X Xi J log X - X logXi!

3 log l(X) a ' „

—3Г~ = - n + — = 0

Solving for X, yields Xmle = X.

c. The method of moments equates E(X) to Xi and since E(X) = X the solution is >0 = Xi, same as the ML method.

d. E(X) = P E(Xi)/n = nX/n = X. Therefore X is unbiased for X. Also,

i=1

var(X) = var(X) = - which tends to zero as n! 1. Therefore, the

y ' n n 7

sufficient condition for X to be consistent for X is satisfied.

e. The joint probability function can be written as f(Xb..,Xn;A) = e-nAAnXX7YT = h&A) g(Xi,..,Xn)

where h(X, X) = є-”^^ and g(X1,..,Xn) = X!1X!. The latter is inde­pendent of X in form and domain. Therefore, X is a sufficient statistic for X.

f. logf(X; X) =-X + XlogX - logX! and

image044The Cramer-Rao lower bound for any unbiased estimator "X of X is given by 1 _ A2 _ A

nE (@2 log3Af(X;A)) = nE(X) n'

But var(X) = X/n, see part (d). Hence, X attains the Cramer-Rao lower bound.

(X = 18). Hence a = Pr[Poisson(18) > K] < 0.05.

From the Poisson tables, for X = 18, K = 26 gives Pr[Poisson(18) >

26] = 0.0446. Hence, Xi > 26 is our required critical region.

and

The Wald statistic is based upon

W = (X - 2)21 (Amk) = (X - 2)2 • XX

using the fact that Xmle = X. The LM statistic is based upon

4 n 2

Note that all three test statistics are based upon |X - 2| > K, and for finite

n the same exact critical value could be obtained using the fact that ^ Xi

1.4 The Geometric Distribution.
