Abstract: In the general signal+noise model we construct an empirical Bayes posterior which we then use for uncertainty quantification for the unknown, possibly sparse, signal. We introduce a novel excessive bias restriction (EBR) condition, which gives rise to a new slicing of the entire space that is suitable for uncertainty quantification. Under EBR and some mild conditions on the noise, we establish the local (oracle) optimality of the proposed confidence ball. In passing, we also get the local optimal (oracle) results for estimation and posterior contraction problems. Adaptive minimax results (also for the estimation and posterior contraction problems) over various sparsity classes follow from our local results.
