Abstract: We consider a linear regression model with regression parameter beta=(beta_1,...,beta_p) and independent and identically N(0,sigma^2) distributed errors. Suppose that the parameter of interest is theta = a^T beta where a is a specified vector. Define the parameter tau=c^T beta-t where the vector c and the number t are specified and a and c are linearly independent. Also suppose that we have uncertain prior information that tau = 0. We present a new frequentist 1-alpha confidence interval for theta that utilizes this prior information. We require this confidence interval to (a) have endpoints that are continuous functions of the data and (b) coincide with the standard 1-alpha confidence interval when the data strongly contradicts this prior information. This interval is optimal in the sense that it has minimum weighted average expected length where the largest weight is given to this expected length when tau=0. This minimization leads to an interval that has the following desirable properties. This interval has expected length that (a) is relatively small when the prior information about tau is correct and (b) has a maximum value that is not too large. The following problem will be used to illustrate the application of this new confidence interval. Consider a 2-by 2 factorial experiment with 20 replicates. Suppose that the parameter of interest theta is a specified simple effect and that we have uncertain prior information that the two-factor interaction is zero. Our aim is to find a frequentist 0.95 confidence interval for theta that utilizes this prior information.
