Multiple use confidence regions in multivariate calibration

Abstract The problem of multivariate calibration is considered in the setup where a normally distributed response variable is related to an explanatory variable through a multivariate linear model. The variance covariance matrix of the response variable is assumed to be a multiple of the identity matrix. The calibration data, that is, data obtained on the response variable corresponding to known values of the explanatory variable, are to be used for the construction of confidence regions for unknown values of the explanatory variable. The calibration problem addressed in this article deals with the construction of multiple use confidence regions; that is, the calibration data will be used repeatedly in order to construct a sequence of confidence regions for a sequence of unknown values of the explanatory variable. Such a procedure is characterized using two coverage probabilities, say 1 — α and 1 — β. Given that the confidence regions are constructed using the same calibration data, the proportion of conf...
