The exponential density is
Fx(x)= λe
–λx
,x ≥0
0,x<0
Suppose we have an independently and identically distributed sample of
size n, {xi}; i = 1,2,…..,n, where each xi follows this exponential distribution.
(a) write the log likelihood function
(b) compute the maximum likelihood estimator of the parameter λ.
