6.867 Problem sets

Problem set 1 errata

  • (Sep 23): We rewrote the exponential distribution in terms of parameter eta = 1/lambda, and modified the questions 1.1 and 1.2 accordingly. 1.2 now asks you to show that the ML estimate of eta is unbiased.

    If you have already solved 1.1 using lambda, then please submit your solution without changes and omit showing anything about the bias of lambda_{ML} in 1.2.
