This is the code used to generate the plot. It could have been done more efficiently, but this way is more self-explanatory.

SpacingEstimate<-function (x) {
A1<-1-exp(-2*x)
A2<-1-exp(-4*x)
Z<-(A1)*(A2-A1)*(1-A2)
return(log(Z))
}

Likelihood<-function (x) {
A1<-x*exp(-2*x)
A2<-x*exp(-4*x)
Z<-A1*A2
return(log(Z))
}

x<-seq(0,1,.01)

plot(x,SpacingEstimate(x),main="Comparison of Estimator Values", type="l", col="blue", xaxp=c(0,1,10), lwd=2, ylab="Estimator values")
points(x, Likelihood(x), col="dark green", type="l", lwd=2)
