Chapter 1, Problem 9.99(choose chapter or problem)
An alternative form of estimation is accomplished through the method of moments. This method involves equating the population mean and variance to the corresponding sample mean x and sample variance s2 and solving for the parameters, the results being the moment estimators. In the case of a single parameter, only the means are used. Give an argument that in the case of the Poisson distribution the maximum likelihood estimator and moment estimators are the same.
