Answer:

σˆ =

sPn

i=1 X2

i

2n

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain, the maximum likelihood ratio, we use the following method.

l(σ) = Xn

i=1 "

− log 2 − log σ −

|Xi

|

σ

#

Let the derivative with respect to θ be zero:

l

0

(σ) = Xn

i=1 "

−

1

σ

+

|Xi

|

σ

2

#

= −

n

σ

+

Pn

i=1 |Xi

|

σ

2

= 0

and this gives us the MLE for σ as

σˆ =

Pn

i=1 |Xi

|

n

Again this is different from the method of moment estimation which is

σˆ =

sPn

i=1 X2

i

2n
