Bootstrap: A Statistical Method
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper attempts to introduce readers with the concept and methodology of bootstrap in Statist ics, which is placed under a larger umbrella of resampling. Major port ion of the discussions should be accessible to any one who has had a couple of college level applied stat istics courses. Towards the end, we attempt to provide glimpses of the vast l i terature published on the topic, which should be helpful to someone aspir ing to go into the depth of the methodology. A section is dedicated to i l lustrate real data examples. We think the selected set of references cover the greater part of the developments on this subject matter.

Statistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm
This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...
متن کاملApplication of the bootstrap statistical method to the tau-decay-mode problem.
The bootstrap statistical method is applied to the discrepancy in the l-charged particle decay modes of the tau lepton. This eliminates questions about the correctness of the errors ascribed to the branching fraction measurements and the use of gaussian error distributions for systematic errors. The discrepancy is still seen when the results of the bootstrap analysis are combined with other mea...
متن کاملStatistical Significance Testing: The Bootstrapping Method and an Application to Self-Control Theory
The present study discusses two problems with statistical significance testing (i.e., tautology and violation of statistical assumptions) that require supplemental analysis. The bootstrap method is presented as a form of internal replication to learn about the consistency of and augment the findings from statistical significance tests in many criminal justice and criminology research findings. ...
متن کاملComputing p-values of LiNGAM outputs via Multiscale Bootstrap
Structural equation models and Bayesian networks have been widely used to study causal relationships between continuous variables. Recently, a non-Gaussian method called LiNGAM was proposed to discover such causal models and has been extended in various directions. An important problem with LiNGAM is that the results are affected by the random sampling of the data as with any statistical method...
متن کاملOptimum Block Size in Separate Block Bootstrap to Estimate the Variance of Sample Mean for Lattice Data
The statistical analysis of spatial data is usually done under Gaussian assumption for the underlying random field model. When this assumption is not satisfied, block bootstrap methods can be used to analyze spatial data. One of the crucial problems in this setting is specifying the block sizes. In this paper, we present asymptotic optimal block size for separate block bootstrap to estimate the...
متن کاملSDBP: An easy-to-use R program package for assessing reliability of estimated phylogenetic trees based on the speedy double bootstrap method
Evaluating the reliability of estimated phylogenetic trees is of critical importance in the field of molecular phylogenetics, and for other endeavors that depend on accurate phylogenetic reconstruction. The bootstrap method is a well-known computational approach to assessing phylogenetic trees, and more generally for assessing the reliability of statistical models. However, it is known to be bi...
