Example 2.2.1 (The uniform distribution) Consider the uniform distribution, which has the density f(x; )= 1I [0, ](x). Given the iid uniform random variables {X i} the likelihood (it is easier to study the likelihood rather than the log-likelihood) is L n(X n; )= 1 n Yn i=1 I [0, ](X i). Using L n(X n
