• Small-scale inference: empirical Bayes and confidence methods for as few as a single comparison
• Empirical Bayes interval estimates that are conditionally equal to unadjusted confidence intervals or to default prior credibility intervals
• Empirical Bayes methods for estimation and confidence intervals in high-dimensional problems
