Coverage of Credible Intervals in Bayesian Multivariate I...

We consider the nonparametric multivariate isotonic regression problem, where the regression function is assumed to be nondecreasing with respect to each predictor. Our goal is to construct a Bayesian credible interval for the function value at a given interior point with assured limiting frequentist coverage. We put a prior on unrestricted step-functions, but make inference using the induced posterior measure by an "immersion map" from the space of unrestricted functions to that of multivariate monotone functions. This allows maintaining the natural conjugacy for posterior sampling. A natural immersion map to use is a projection via a distance, but in the present context, a block isotonization map is found to be more useful. The approach of using the induced "immersion posterior" measure instead of the original posterior to make inference provides a useful extension of the Bayesian paradigm, particularly helpful when the model space is restricted by some complex relations. We establish a key weak convergence result for the posterior distribution of the function at a point in terms of some functional of a multi-indexed Gaussian process that leads to an expression for the limiting coverage of the Bayesian credible interval. Analogous to a recent result for univariate monotone functions, we find that the limiting coverage is slightly higher than the credibility, the opposite of a phenomenon observed in smoothing problems. Interestingly, the relation between credibility and limiting coverage does not involve any unknown parameter. Hence by a recalibration procedure, we can get a predetermined asymptotic coverage by choosing a suitable credibility level smaller than the targeted coverage, and thus also shorten the credible intervals.
