• Congratulations to the Feedback Prize Draw winner for the Winter 2025 - 26 sitting. If you fancy winning £150 worth of gift vouchers (from a major UK store) for the Summer 2026 exam sitting for just a few minutes of your time throughout the session, please see our website at https://www.acted.co.uk/further-info.html?pat=feedback#feedback-prize for more information on how you can make sure your name is included in the draw at the end of the session.

GLM

Y1, Y2....... Yn are independent claims, which are assumed to be exponentially distributed, with E(Y)- μι
i) Show that the canonical link function is the inverse link function.
(ii) It is decided that the canonical link should not be used, but that the mean claim sizes should be modeled as follows:
log mu i = alpha i=1,2,...,m beta i = m + 1 ,m+2,...,n
(a) . Derive the log-likelihood
(b)
Derive the max likelihood estimators of alpha and beta
(c) scaled deviance for this model
(iii) For a particular data set, m = 20 n = 44 1/20 sum l = 1 to 20 y l =14.2 Calculate the deviance for y_{1} = 7 1/24 sum i = 21 to 44 y i =18.7
 
Hi there - this forum for helping students - not for tutors to do the work instead of the students!

So, show me what you've done so far and then I can help you find your errors in your work and help you understand why it's wrong.

Hi I completed most of the sums but when it comes to scaled deviance it gets difficult
