Instead of conditioning the confidence sets S(X) on a set C, consider a randomized procedure
Question:
Instead of conditioning the confidence sets θ ∈ S(X) on a set C, consider a randomized procedure which assigns to each point x a probabilityψ(x) and makes the confidence statement θ ∈ S(x) with probability ψ(x) when x is observed.7
(i) The randomized procedure can be represented by a nonrandomized conditioning set for the observations (X, U), where U is uniformly distributed on (0, 1)
and independent of X, by letting C = {(x, u) : u < ψ(x)}.
(ii) Extend the definition of relevant and semirelevant subsets to randomized conditioning (without the use of U).
(iii) Let θ ∈ S(X) be equivalent to the statement X ∈ A(θ). Show thatψ is positively biased semirelevant if and only if the random variables ψ(X) and IA(θ)(X) are positively correlated, where IA denotes the indicator of the set A.
