Question

The lifetime of a type-A bulb is exponentially distributed with parameter λ. The lifetime of a type-B bulb is exponentially distributed with parameter μ, where μ>λ>0. You have a box full of lightbulbs of the same type, and you would like to know whether they are of type A or B. Assume an a priori probability of 1/3 that the box contains type-B lightbulbs.

You observe the value t1 of the lifetime, T1, of a lightbulb. A MAP decision rule implies that the lightbulb is of type A if and only if t1≥α.

Find α. Express your answer in terms of μ and λ. Use ‘mu', ‘lambda' and ‘ln' to denote μ, λ, and the natural logarithm function, respectively. For example, ln2μλ should be entered as ‘ln((2*mu)/lambda)'.

α=0 - incorrect
0
What is the probability of error of the MAP estimator?

Assume that λ=2 and μ=3. Find the LMS estimate of T2, the lifetime of another lightbulb from the same box, based on observing T1=2. Assume that conditioned on the bulb type, bulb lifetimes are independent. (For this part, you will need a calculator. Provide an answer with an accuracy of two decimal places.)

LMS estimate of T2=?

Answer 1

2) Part a

Answer 2

Answer 5

part 3: LMS estimate of T2 = 0.48

part 1: alpha = ?

Answer 6

1. alpha = ln(mu/(2*lambda))/(mu-lambda)

Answer 7

===𝖤(𝑇2∣A)𝖯(A∣𝑇1=2)+𝖤(𝑇2∣B)𝖯(B∣𝑇1=2)(Using the Means of Exponential Distributions)
==>1/2*𝖯(A∣𝑇1=2)+1/3*𝖯(B∣𝑇1=2)
𝖯(A∣𝑇1=2)=4𝖾^2/(4𝖾^2+3)
𝖯(B∣𝑇1=2)=3/(4𝖾^2+3)

Answer 8

In 2019 the answer to part 2 is (a).
