Confidence Intervals for Nonparametric Empirical Bayes Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
In an empirical Bayes analysis, we use data from repeated sampling to imitate inferences made by oracle Bayesian with extensive knowledge of the data-generating distribution. Existing results provide a comprehensive characterization when and why point estimates accurately recover behavior. this paper, develop flexible practical confidence intervals that asymptotic frequentist coverage estimands, such as posterior mean or local false sign rate. The statements hold even estimands are only partially identified converge very slowly. Supplementary materials for article available online.

Empirical Likelihood Confidence Intervals for Nonparametric Functional Data Analysis
We consider the problem of constructing confidence intervals for nonparametric functional data analysis using empirical likelihood. In this doubly infinite-dimensional context, we demonstrate the Wilks’s phenomenon and propose a bias-corrected construction that requires neither undersmoothing nor direct bias estimation. We also extend our results to partially linear regression involving functio...
متن کاملConfidence Intervals for Nonparametric Regression
In non-parametric function estimation, providing a confidence interval with the right coverage is a challenging problem. This is especially the case when the underlying function has a wide range of unknown degrees of smoothness. Here we propose two methods of constructing an average coverage confidence interval built from block shrinkage estimation methods. One is based on the James-Stein shrin...
متن کاملAn Adaptation Theory for Nonparametric Confidence Intervals
A nonparametric adaptation theory is developed for the construction of confidence intervals for linear functionals. A between class modulus of continuity captures the expected length of adaptive confidence intervals. Sharp lower bounds are given for the expected length and an ordered modulus of continuity is used to construct adaptive confidence procedures which are within a constant factor of ...
متن کاملNonparametric Confidence Intervals for Monotone Functions
We study nonparametric isotonic confidence intervals for monotone functions. In [1] pointwise confidence intervals, based on likelihood ratio tests for the restricted and unrestricted MLE in the current status model, are introduced. We extend the method to the treatment of other models with monotone functions, and demonstrate our method by a new proof of the results in [1] and also by construct...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood based confidence intervals for copulas
Copula as an effective way of modeling dependence has become more or less a standard tool in risk management, and a wide range of applications of copula models appear in the literature of economics, econometrics, insurance, finance, etc. How to estimate and test a copula plays an important role in practice, and both parametric and nonparametric methods have been studied in the literature. In th...
