Chapter 8.2, Problem 18E
Let Y1, Y2, …, Yn denote a random sample of size n from a population with a uniform distribution on the interval (0, θ). Consider Y(1) = min(Y1, Y2, …, Yn), the smallest-order statistic. Use the methods of Section 6.7 to derive E(Y(1)). Find a multiple of Y(1) that is an unbiased estimator for θ.
