Abstract
- Let X[sub 1], ... X[sub r], be independent B(n,p) random variables. In this paper n is estimated with known p. The MLE is developed and shown to be consistent in a relative sense and asymptotically normal. Motivated by Y[sub i] = X[sub i]/q we consider Y[sub 1], ... ,Y[sub r] independent N(mu, mu) and examine three estimates of mu; (i) the MVUE, (ii) the MLE, and (iii) ?. These are shown to be asymptotically equivalent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
