Demystifying the Bias from Selective Inference: a Revisit to Dawid's Treatment Selection Problem

Statistics Theory 2016-06-10 v2 Statistics Theory

Abstract

We extend the heuristic discussion in Senn (2008) on the bias from selective inference for the treatment selection problem (Dawid 1994), by deriving the closed-form expression for the selection bias. We illustrate the advantages of our theoretical results through numerical and simulated examples.
