One-sided credible interval

ID: one-sided-credible-interval

A one-sided credible interval puts all excluded posterior probability in one tail. For a continuous posterior distribution, an upper bound satisfies ; a lower bound uses . Intersecting with the parameter's allowed range removes points of zero posterior probability. For the beta distribution , the upper 95% bound is , so is the alternative credible interval shown above.
