 Let {Xi}nbe IID from Bernoulli(p). Find the method of moments estimator of p and use simulations to check whether your estimator is biased or not

Expert Solution
Step 1

From the given information,

X1, X2, ....,Xn are IID random variables with Bernoulli(p).

Consider, the first moment for the population of Binomial distribution is,

E(X)=p

First moment for sample is,

M1=Xin      =x¯

By comparing the first moments of population and sample is, p^=x¯.

Consider,

EX¯=EX1+X2+....+Xnn         =1nEX1+EX2+....+EXn        =1np+p+...+p        =p

Hence, the moment estimator is not a biased estimator.
