Estimation

A new framework of data analysis where the new statistical methods are used for interpreting the results and analyzing the data is known as estimation in statistics.

Question

Based on available data, the distribution function chosen to model particular data is

f_x(x) = λ e^{- λ x}

Given these three data points: 3.6, 5.5, and 3.8, use the Maximum Likelihood Estimation method to determine the value of λ to 3 decimal places.

Expression, rule, or law that gives the relationship between an independent variable and dependent variable. Some important types of functions are injective function, surjective function, polynomial function, and inverse function.
