- How to Find a Confidence Interval for a Uniform DistributionFor independent Uniform(0, θ) data, use the sample maximum to derive an exact confidence interval, with formulas and a worked 95% example.
- What Is the MLE for a Uniform(θ, 0) Distribution?For iid data from Uniform(θ, 0) with θ < 0, the likelihood is maximized at the sample minimum; if endpoints are reversed, it is the maximum.
- What Are the Properties of the Maximum and Minimum of Exponential Random Variables?For independent exponential variables, the minimum is exponential with summed rate; derive the maximum's CDF, density, mean, and variance.
