Abstract:
|
Consider an experiment in which p independent treatments or populations pi_i, with corresponding unknown means theta_i are available and suppose that for every population we can obtain a random sample. In this context, researchers are sometimes interested in selecting the k populations that give the largest sample means as a result of the experiment, and to estimate the corresponding population means theta_i's. In this talk, we consider this the post-selection inference problem and discuss a frequentist approach to obtain simultaneous asymmetric confidence intervals for the means of the populations that have been selected, assuming the populations pi_i are normally distributed with a common variance sigma^2.
