A note on bootstrap large deviations and discrete parameter spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
A bootstrap large deviation result for the mean is shown to be a consequence of a classical large deviation result due to Sievers and later improved by Plachky and Steinebach. The result implies a level of asymptotic correctness for nonparametric bootstrapping of the maximum likelihood estimator in models having a discrete parameter space. The application of bootstrap methods in molecular evolution gains theoretical support from this result.

A note on Volterra and Baire spaces
In Proposition 2.6 in (G. Gruenhage, A. Lutzer, Baire and Volterra spaces, textit{Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.} {128} (2000), no. 10, 3115--3124) a condition that every point of $D$ is $G_delta$ in $X$ was overlooked. So we proved some conditions by which a Baire space is equivalent to a Volterra space. In this note we show that if $X$ is a monotonically normal $T_1...
متن کاملBootstrapping phylogenies: Large deviations and dispersion effects
A large deviation result is established for the bootstrap empirical distribution in a finite sample space, thereby validating both nonparametric and parametric bootstrapping in certain phylogenetic inference problems. The bias previously observed in the bootstrap distribution of the estimated tree topology is shown to stem from dispersion effects in the joint distribution of sample and bootstra...

متن کاملDISCRETE AND CONTINUOUS SIZING OPTIMIZATION OF LARGE-SCALE TRUSS STRUCTURES USING DE-MEDT ALGORITHM
Design optimization of structures with discrete and continuous search spaces is a complex optimization problem with lots of local optima. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms, due to not requiring gradient information of the objective function, are efficient tools for solving these problems at a reasonable computational time. In this paper, the Doppler Effect-Mean Euclidian Distance Threshold ...
