Empirical Bayes Confidence Intervals Shrinking Both Means and Variances
同时收缩均值与方差的经验贝叶斯置信区间
Summary We construct empirical Bayes intervals for a large number p of means. The existing intervals in the literature assume that variances σi2 are either equal or unequal but known. When the variances are unequal and unknown, the suggestion is typically to replace them by unbiased estimators Si2. However, when p is large, there would be advantage in ‘borrowing strength’ from each other. We derive double-shrinkage intervals for means on the basis of our empirical Bayes…
