Exact Post Selection Inference with Applications to the Lasso.
This simple package supports the simple procedure outlined in Lee et al. where one observes a normal random variable, then performs inference conditional on some linear inequalities.
Suppose y
is multivariate normal with mean \mu
and covariance \Sigma
. Conditional on Ay \le b
,
one can perform inference on \eta^{\top}\mu
by
transforming y
to a truncated normal.
Similarly one can invert this procedure and find confidence intervals on
\eta^{\top}\mu
.
