In this Excel tutorial, we will explore how to use the RAND function and the RANDBETWEEN function to generate random numbers and simulate uniform distribution in Excel. This can be useful for various statistical and analytical purposes, such as simulations and modeling.
Jul 23, 2020 · A uniform distribution is a probability distribution in which every value between an interval from a to b is equally likely to be chosen. The probability that we will obtain a value between x1 and x2 on an interval from a to b can be found using the formula: P (obtain value between x1 and x2) = (x2 – x1) / (b – a) The uniform distribution ...

Since the pdf for the uniform distribution on [α, β] is the likelihood estimate for a random sample {x1, …, xn} is provided that all the sample elements are in the interval [α, β] and 0 if not. Suppose that the random sample is in increasing order x1 ≤ …≤ xn. Thus to maximize L we need to ensure that α ≤ x1 ≤ xn ≤ β. But the larger β is the smaller...
Note that α = x1 and β = xn are biased estimates. If we fix α, we can find an unbiased estimator for β of the uniform distribution in the interval [α, β], as follows. Property 1: z = α + (n + 1)(xn – α)/n is an unbiased estimator for β, assuming we know α. Similarly, if we fix β, we can find an unbiased estimator for α of the uniform distribution i...
We now repeat Example 1 of Method of Moments: Uniform Distributionusing the MLE approach as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 – Fitting a uniform distribution using MLE The fit using the MLE approach for the uniform distribution is the interval [.004308,99923] as shown in range F7:F8. Range G7:G8 shows a quasi-unbiased version and J7:J8 shows the iterati...
