چکیده
We propose a bootstrap sampling method jackboot sampling This provides more accu rate inferences than ordinary bootstrap sampling better con dence interval coverage and less biased or unbiased standard errors The method is simple to implement We also prescribe a smoothing parameter for use in smoothed bootstrapping using or dinary kernel smoothing The e ect is similar to that of jackboot sampling

Smoothed Bootstrap and Statistical Data Cloning for Classifier Evaluation
This paper is concerned with the estimation of a classifier’s accuracy. We present a number of novel bootstrap estimators, based on kernel smoothing, that consistently show superior performance on both synthetic and real data, with respect to other established methods. We call the process of (re)sampling the data via kernel-based smoothed bootstrap data cloning. The new cloning methods outperfo...
متن کاملIterated 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...
متن کاملUnbiasing the Bootstrap—Bootknife Sampling vs. Smoothing
Bootstrap standard errors are generally biased downward, which is a primary reason that traditional bootstrap confidence intervals have coverage probability which is too low. For the sample mean the downward bias is a factor of n−1 n (for the squared standard error); the same bias holds approximately for asymptotically-linear statistics. In the case of stratified or two-sample bootstrapping, th...
متن کاملAsymptotic Confidence Intervals of Spectra and Cross-spectra of Continuous Time Processes Based on Uniformly Spaced Samples
It is well known that if the power spectrum of a continuous time stationary stochastic process is not limited to a finite interval, data sampled from that process at any uniform sampling rate leads to biased and inconsistent spectrum estimators. As a result, depending on the range of frequency of interest, one uses anti-alias filtering and subsequently treats the filtered process as bandlimited...
متن کاملOn constructing accurate confidence bands for ROC curves through smooth resampling
This paper is devoted to thoroughly investigating how to bootstrap the ROC curve, a widely used visual tool for evaluating the accuracy of test/scoring statistics s(X) in the bipartite setup. The issue of confidence bands for the ROC curve is considered and a resampling procedure based on a smooth version of the empirical distribution called the ”smoothed bootstrap” is introduced. Theoretical a...
