Invariant Empirical Bayes Confidence Interval for Mean Vector of Normal Distribution and its Generalization for Exponential Family
Based on a given Bayesian model of multivariate normal with known variance matrix we will find an empirical Bayes confidence interval for the mean vector components which have normal distribution. We will find this empirical Bayes confidence interval as a conditional form on ancillary statistic. In both cases (i.e. conditional and unconditional empirical Bayes confidence interval), the empiri...
متن کاملCan Bayes give second-order reproducibility?
We consider default priors for Bayes analysis as initiated in Bayes (1763), then Laplace (1812), Jeffreys (1961), Bernardo (1979), and many more, and viewed recently as “potentially dangerous” (Efron, 2013) or potentially useful (Fraser, 2013). We use nominal data size n to develop an explicit new prior that has second-order O(n−1) reproducibility for any specified parameter of interest. As par...
متن کاملA confidence-aware interval-based trust model
It is a common and useful task in a web of trust to evaluate the trust value between two nodes using intermediate nodes. This technique is widely used when the source node has no experience of direct interaction with the target node, or the direct trust is not reliable enough by itself. If trust is used to support decision-making, it is important to have not only an accurate estimate of trust, ...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes interval estimates that are conditionally equal to unadjusted confidence intervals or to default prior credibility intervals.
Problems involving thousands of null hypotheses have been addressed by estimating the local false discovery rate (LFDR). A previous LFDR approach to reporting point and interval estimates of an effect-size parameter uses an estimate of the prior distribution of the parameter conditional on the alternative hypothesis. That estimated prior is often unreliable, and yet strongly influences the post...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
