Suppose that we want to estimate the parameter θ of
the geometric distribution on the basis of a single obser-vation. If the loss function is given by
L[d(x), θ] = c{d(x) − θ}2
and is looked upon as a random variable having the
uniform density h(θ ) = 1 for 0 <θ< 1 and h(θ ) = 0 else-where, duplicate the steps in Example 9 to show that
(a) the conditional density of given X = x isφ(θ|x) =
x(x + 1)θ (1 − θ )x−1 for 0 <θ< 10 elsewhere(b) the Bayes risk is minimized by the decision function
d(x) = 2x + 2
Suppose that a study of a certain computer system reveals that the response time, in seconds, has an exponential distribution with density curve f(x) = (1/3)e(-x/3) for x > 0 and f(x) = 0 otherwise.
What is the probability that response time exceeds 5 seconds?
What is the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds?
