Coverage Properties of Empirical Bayes Intervals

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

This note is an invited discussion of the article "Confidence Intervals for Nonparametric Empirical Bayes Analysis" by Ignatiadis and Wager. In this discussion, I review some goals of empirical Bayes data analysis and the contribution of Ignatiadis and Wager. Differences between across-group inference and group-specific inference are discussed. Standard empirical Bayes interval procedures focus on controlling the across-group average coverage rate. However, if group-specific inferences are of primary interest, confidence intervals with group-specific coverage control may be preferable.
