Bonferroni Joint Confidence Intervals The confidence coefficients for individual parameters are adjusted to the higher 1 \( \alpha \) so that the confidence coefficient for the collection of parameters must be at least 1 \( \alpha \). This is based on the following inequality: Theorem (Bonferroni's Inequality) \[P( \beta_0\cap\beta_1)\geq1-P(\beta_0^c)-P(\beta_1^c) \label{Bonferroni}\] for any two events \(\beta_0 \) and \( \beta_1 \), where \(\beta_0^c \) and \(\beta_1^c \) are complements of events \( \beta_0 \) and \( \beta_1 \), respectively. We take, \( \beta_0 =\) the event that confidence interval for \(\beta_0 \) covers \(\beta_0 \); and, \( \beta_1 =\) the event that confidence interval for \( \beta_1 \) covers \( \beta_1 \); So, if \(P(\beta_0) = 1-\alpha_1 \), and \(P(\beta_1) = 1-\alpha_2 \), then \(P(\beta_0\cap\beta_1)\geq1-\alpha_1-\alpha_2 \), by Bonferroni's inequality (Equation \ref{Bonferroni}). Note that \(\beta_0\cap\beta_1\) is the event that confidence intervals for both the parameters cover the respective parameters. Therefore we take \(\alpha_1 = \alpha_2 = \alpha/2 \) to get joint confidence intervals with confidence coefficient at least \(1 \alpha \), \(b_0 \pm t(1-\alpha/4;n-2) s(b_0) \) and \(b_1 \pm t(1-\alpha/4;n-2) s(b_1) \) for \(\beta_0\) and \(\beta_1\), respectively.
