Invariant Empirical Bayes Confidence Interval for Mean Vector of Normal Distribution and its Generalization for Exponential Family

author

Abstract:

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 empirical Bayes confidence interval is invariant w.r.t. the group with given confidence level. Finally the problem can be generalized for the exponential family.

Exact hypothesis testing and confidence interval for mean of the exponential distribution under Type-I progressive hybrid censoring

 ‎Censored samples are discussed in experiments of life-testing; i.e‎. ‎whenever the experimenter does not observe the failure times of all units placed on a life test‎. ‎In recent years‎, ‎inference based on censored sampling is considered‎, ‎so that about the parameters of various distributions such as ‎normal‎, ‎exponential‎, ‎gamma‎, ‎Rayleigh‎, ‎Weibull‎, ‎log normal‎, ‎inverse Gaussian‎, ...

Accurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution

Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...

Optimal confidence interval for the largest normal mean under heteroscedasticity

A two-stage sampling procedure for obtaining an optimal confidence interval for the largest or smallest mean of k independent normal populations is proposed, where the population variances are unknown and possibly unequal. The optimal confidence interval is obtained by maximizing the coverage probability with a fixed width at a least favorable configuration of means. Then, the sample sizes can ...

Empirical-likelihood-based Confidence Interval for the Mean with a Heavy-tailed Distribution

Empirical-likelihood-based confidence intervals for a mean were introduced by Owen [Biometrika 75 (1988) 237–249], where at least a finite second moment is required. This excludes some important distributions, for example, those in the domain of attraction of a stable law with index between 1 and 2. In this article we use a method similar to Qin and Wong [Scand. J. Statist. 23 (1996) 209–219] t...
