Good exact confidence sets for a multivariate normal mean
多元正态均值的精确置信集
A class of confidence sets with constant coverage probability for the mean of a p-variate normal distribution is proposed through a pseudo-empirical-Bayes construction. When the dimension is greater than 2, by combining analytical results with some exact numerical calculations the proposed sets are proved to have a uniformly smaller volume than the usual confidence region. Sufficient conditions for the connectedness of the proposed confidence sets are also derived. In…
