Asymptotic Accuracy of the Jackknife Variance Estimator for Certain Smooth Statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that that the jackknife variance estimator vjack and the the infinitesimal jackknife variance estimator are asymptotically equivalent if the functional of interest is a smooth function of the mean or a smooth trimmed L-statistic. We calculate the asymptotic variance of vjack for these functionals.

Asymptotic equivalence of the jackknife and infinitesimal jackknife variance estimators for some smooth statistics
The jackknife variance estimator and the the infinitesimal jackknife variance estimator are shown to be asymptotically equivalent if the functional of interest is a smooth function of the mean or a trimmed L-statistic with Hölder continuous weight function.
متن کاملComparison of Bootstrap and Jackknife Variance Estimators in Linear Regression: Second Order Results
In an extension of the work of Liu and Singh (1992), we consider resampling estimates for the variance of the least squares estimator in linear regression models. Second order terms in asymptotic expansions of these estimates are derived. By comparing the second order terms, certain generalised bootstrap schemes are seen to be theoretically better than other resampling techniques under very gen...
متن کاملThe Structure of Bhattacharyya Matrix in Natural Exponential Family and Its Role in Approximating the Variance of a Statistics
In most situations the best estimator of a function of the parameter exists, but sometimes it has a complex form and we cannot compute its variance explicitly. Therefore, a lower bound for the variance of an estimator is one of the fundamentals in the estimation theory, because it gives us an idea about the accuracy of an estimator. It is well-known in statistical inference that the Cram&eac...
متن کاملA (partially) Model-based Look at Jackknife Variance Estimation with Two-phase Samples
This paper focuses on a design-consistent regression estimator in which the “auxiliaries” are estimated from a stratified cluster sample and the regression coefficients from an arbitrary subsample of the original sample. The reweighted expansion estimator described in Stukel and Kott (1997) is an example of such an estimator. Assuming that the target variable is a linear function of the auxilia...
متن کاملA jackknife estimator of variance for Cox regression for correlated survival data.
Studies in the health sciences often give rise to correlated survival data. Wei, Lin, and Weissfeld (1989, Journal of the American Statistical Association 84, 1065-1073) and Lee, Wei, and Amato (1992, in Survival Analysis: State of the Art) showed that, if the marginal distributions of the correlated survival times follow a proportional hazards model, then the estimates from Cox's partial likel...
