For the first pmf, we have:
\[\displaystyle \displaystyle w(\theta ,y)=y\ln (\theta )+(1-y)\ln (1-\theta )\]
We can decompose \(\displaystyle w(\theta ,y)\) as:
\[\displaystyle \displaystyle w(\theta ,y)=y\ln (\theta )+(1-y)\ln (1-\theta )=-\ln(1-\theta)+y\ln \left(\frac{\theta}{1-\theta}\right)\]
So, we have:
\[\displaystyle \displaystyle \eta (\theta )T(y)=-\ln(1-\theta)\]
This corresponds to the logarithm of the odds ratio in the Bernoulli distribution. Therefore, the distribution that \(\displaystyle f_{\theta}(y)\) defines is \textsf{Ber}(\(\displaystyle \theta\)).
For the second pmf, we have:
\[\displaystyle \displaystyle w(\theta ,y)=-\theta +y\ln(\theta)\]
We can decompose \(\displaystyle w(\theta ,y)\) as:
\[\displaystyle \displaystyle w(\theta ,y)=-\theta +y\ln(\theta)=-(-\theta+y\ln(\theta))\]
So, we have:
\[\displaystyle \displaystyle \eta (\theta )T(y)=-\theta\]
This corresponds to the parameter value in the Poisson distribution. Therefore, the distribution that \(\displaystyle f_{\theta}(y)\) defines is \textsf{Poiss}(\(\displaystyle \theta\)).
For the two following pmfs with one parameter \theta that are written in the form
\displaystyle \displaystyle f_\theta (y) \displaystyle = \displaystyle h(y) e^{w(\theta ,y)},
first decompose \, w(\theta ,y)\, as
\displaystyle \displaystyle w(\theta ,y) \displaystyle = \displaystyle \eta (\theta )T(y)-B(\theta ),
then enter the product \eta (\theta )T(y) below. Select the distribution that f_\theta defines.
