Not what you're looking for?
Consider an independent and identically distributed (iid) sample, X1,...., Xn, from a distribution with pdf (see attachment for equations). Use this information to answer the following questions:
a. Find the method of moments estimator of theta.
b. Find the maximum likelihood estimator of theta
c. Find the bias and mean squared error of the MLE.
d. Find the maximum likelihood estimator of the median of the distribution
e. Find a (possibly multidimensional) sufficient statistic for theta.
