Abstract: | Empirical Bayes (EB) methods are very useful for post selection inference. Following Datta et al. (2002 Datta, G. S., M. Ghosh, D. D. Smith, and P. Lahiri. 2002. On an asymptotic theory of conditional and unconditional coverage probabilities of empirical Bayes confidence intervals. Scandinavian Journal of Statistics 29:139–52.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), we construct EB confidence intervals for the selected population mean. The EB intervals are adjusted to achieve the target coverage probabilities asymptotically up to the second order. Both unconditional coverage probabilities of EB intervals and corresponding probabilities conditional on ancillary statistics are found. |
