Let $X$ be a random draw from an Exponential($\theta$) distribution, which has a density $p_\theta(x)=\theta^{-1}e^{-x/\theta}$ with an unknown $\theta>0.$
a) Compute the Crámer-Rao lower bound for unbiased estimation of $g(\theta)=\theta^k, k\in N$.
b) Find the UMVUE of $g(\theta)=\theta^k, k\in N$.
c) Compute the variance of the UMVUE from b). For which $k\in N$, if any, does the UMVUE attain the CR-bound from a)?
My idea: for a), the Crámer-Rao lower bound would be (I think) $\frac{g'(\theta)^2}{I(\theta)} $ with $I(\theta)=-E_{\theta}[l''_{\theta}(X)]=1/\theta^2$ (here $l_\theta$ is MLE) so one would get $\frac{g'(\theta)^2}{I(\theta)} = \frac{(k \theta^{k-1})^2}{1/\theta^2}=k^2\theta^{2k} $. I'm not sure though if this is correct.
As for b) my first guess was to take a look at moment k of X and $E[X^k]=k!\theta^k$. I wanted to apply Lehmann-Scheffé Lemma, but I had no idea how to do that because of $k!$
