Question: Consider a geometric distribution with probability mass function
where x can attain values 0; 1; 2 : : : and with parameter, p, where.
Assume in the following that you have n independent and identically distributed observations from a geometric distribution with parameter p0.
Derive the maximum likelihood estimator for the geometric distribution.
