Abstract

According to an invariance principle, for some models having a certain group structure, there is a uniquely defined prior representing ignorance, which is called the inner prior. It is shown that the corresponding posterior probability of a likelihood region has a simple frequency interpretation as a mean conditional confidence level. The central multivariate normal model is considered as an example.
