Within the framework of linear mixed models we develop complete theory to construct confidence intervals for regression and mixed parameters under three frameworks: nested and general model sets as well as misspecified models. Our theoretical analysis is accompanied by a simulation experiment and a post-selection examination on mean income across Galicia's counties. Our numerical studies confirm a good performance of our new procedure. Moreover, they reveal a startling robustness to the model misspecification of a naive method to construct the confidence intervals for a mixed parameter which is in contrast to our findings for the fixed parameters.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.10975v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.10975v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"post-selection-inference-for-linear-mixed","repo_url":"https://github.com/KatarzynaReluga/postcAIC","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
