Credible intervals and bootstrap confidence intervals in monotone regression

Statistics Theory 2023-08-01 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

In the recent paper [5], a Bayesian approach for constructing confidence intervals in monotone regression problems is proposed, based on credible intervals. We view this method from a frequentist point of view, and show that it corresponds to a percentile bootstrap method of which we give two versions. It is shown that a (non-percentile) smoothed bootstrap method has better behavior and does not need correction for over- or undercoverage. The proofs use martingale methods.
