Let random sample from a Poisson distribution with parameter . A random variable X with Poisson distribution has a probability mass
p(x; lambda)=((lambda^x)(e^-lambda))/x!, x=0,1,...
with E(X)=lambda and Var(X)=lambda .
(a) Find the method of moments (MOM) estimator of lambda.
(b) Find a sufficient statistic for lambda.
(c) Find the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of lambda. (Remember that you already found an expression for the joint pmf in part (b).)
(d) Find the Fisher information for the random sample of the parameter lambda.
(e) What is the Cramer Rao Lower bound for an unbiased estimator of the parameter lambda?
(f) Is the MLE of part (c) a minimum variance unbiased estimator (MVUE) of lambda?
