Bias corrected empirical Bayes confidence intervals for the selected mean

Abstract

ABSTRACTEmpirical Bayes (EB) methods are very useful for post selection inference. Following Datta et al. (2002), 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.
