Analysis of regression confidence intervals and Bayesian credible intervals for uncertainty quantification
[1] Confidence intervals based on classical regression theories augmented to include prior information and credible intervals based on Bayesian theories are conceptually different ways to quantify parametric and predictive uncertainties. Because both confidence and credible intervals are used in environmental modeling, we seek to understand their differences and similarities. This is of interes...
متن کاملBootstrap Confidence Intervals for Smoothing Splines and Their Comparison to Bayesian Confidence Intervals
We construct bootstrap confidence intervals for smoothing spline and smoothing spline ANOVA estimates based on Gaussian data, and penalized likelihood smoothing spline estimates based on data from exponential families. Several variations of bootstrap confidence intervals are considered and compared. We find that the commonly used bootstrap percentile intervals are inferior to the T intervals an...
متن کاملEnhancing the Physical Significance of Frequentist Confidence Intervals
It is shown that all the Frequentist methods are equivalent from a statistical point of view, but the physical significance of the confidence intervals depends on the method. The Bayesian Ordering method is presented and confronted with the Unified Approach in the case of a Poisson process with background. Some criticisms to both methods are answered. It is also argued that a general Frequentis...
متن کاملWhat is the Usefulness of Frequentist Confidence Intervals ?
The following questions are discussed: " Why confidence intervals are a hot topic? " ; " Are confidence intervals objective? " ; " What is the usefulness of coverage? " ; " How to obtain useful information from experiment? " ; " The confidence level must be chosen independently from the knowledge of the data? " .
متن کاملComparison of five introduced confidence intervals for the binomial proportion
So far many confidence intervals were introduced for the binomial proportion. In this paper, our purpose is comparing five well known based on their exact confidence coefficient and average coverage probability.
