Confidence intervals centred on bootstrap smoothed estimators: an impossibility result

Iterated Smoothed Bootstrap Confidence Intervals for Population Quantiles

This paper investigates the effects of smoothed bootstrap iterations on coverage probabilities of smoothed bootstrap and bootstrap-t confidence intervals for population quantiles, and establishes the optimal kernel bandwidths at various stages of the smoothing procedures. The conventional smoothed bootstrap and bootstrap-t methods have been known to yield one-sided coverage errors of orders O(n...

BOOTSTRAP CONFIDENCE INTERVALS 1 BootES : An R Package for Bootstrap Confidence Intervals on Effect Sizes

Bootstrap Effect Sizes (bootES; Gerlanc & Kirby, 2012) is a free, open source software package for R (R Development Core Team, 2012), which is a language and environment for statistical computing. BootES computes both unstandardized and standardized effect sizes (such as Cohen’s d, Hedges’s g, and Pearson’s r), and makes easily available for the first time the computation of their bootstrap CIs...

On Teaching Bootstrap Confidence Intervals

notion the theoretical distribution on the random variable ) is not available. All we have ICOTS8 (2010) Invited Paper Engel International Association of Statistical Education (IASE) www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase/ to rely on are the data at hand, i.e. the sample or recapture of size n. These data–if drawn by some random mechanism–may well be taken as a good representation of the total fish popu...
