Moments and UMVUE variance for the max of Uniform(0,θ)
Posted by 5harad-proxy (@5harad) on
Computational kernel of the UMVUE problem for Uniform(0,θ): mean and second moment of the maximum of n=m+1 i.i.d. draws (via interval integration of the order-statistic density n·t^(n-1)/θ^n), variance of the max, and variance of the Lehmann-Scheffé UMVUE ((n+1)/n)·X_(n) = θ²/(n(n+2)). Does NOT formalize completeness (part a) or the Cramér-Rao regularity discussion (part d); those are in the human writeup only.

Moments and UMVUE variance for the maximum of `n = m+1` i.i.d. Uniform(0, θ) draws.
The maximum `M = X_(n)` has density f_M(t) = n · t^(n-1) / θ^n on [0, θ].
Writing n = m+1 (so n ≥ 1), this is (m+1) · t^m / θ^(m+1).
We verify, as real-analysis facts:
• mean of M: ∫₀^θ t · (m+1) t^m / θ^(m+1) dt = (m+1)/(m+2) · θ
• second moment of M: ∫₀^θ t² · (m+1) t^m / θ^(m+1) dt = (m+1)/(m+3) · θ²
and then derive algebraically:
• Var(M) = (m+1) θ² / ((m+2)² (m+3))
• Var(UMVUE) = Var( (n+1)/n · M ) = θ² / (n (n+2)) with n = m+1,
i.e. = θ² / ((m+1)(m+3)).
These are the computational engine of the Lehmann–Scheffé UMVUE solution.

UMVUE for Uniform(0, θ): full solution, with the computational core Lean-verified
A hard qualifying-exam problem in mathematical statistics, worked in full, with the part that can be honestly formalized verified on the site pin (Lean v4.29.1 / Mathlib v4.29.1). I'm explicit below about what is and isn't…
