In this section, we describe the easiest and most common form of the bootstrap: the nonparametric bootstrap. As we shall see, the nonparametric bootstrap procedure is very similar to a Monte Carlo simulation experiment. The main …

Bootstrapping estimates the properties of an estimand (such as its variance) by measuring those properties when sampling from an approximating distribution. One standard choice for an approximating distribution is the empirical distribution function of the observed data.

In principle there are three different ways of obtaining and evaluating bootstrap estimates: non-parametric, parametric, and semi-parametric. In practice, because nonparametric intervals make parametric assumptions, this division is rather arbitrary.

2021年1月4日 · Unlike classic statistical inference methods, which depend on parametric assumptions and/or large sample approximations for valid inference, the nonparametric bootstrap uses computationally intensive methods to provide valid inferential results under a wide collection of data generating conditions.

In this chapter we depart from the parametric framework and discuss a nonparametric technique called the bootstrap. The bootstrap is a method for estimating the variance of an estimator and for finding approximate confidence intervals for parameters.

Find a confidence interval for any statistic from the bootstrap sample. So far, the methods we learned were for the population mean. The mean is a good measure of center when the data is bell-shaped, but it is sensitive to outliers and extreme values. When the data is skewed, however, a better measure of center would be the median.

Let's introduce the non-parametric bootstrap. The procedure to perform a non-parametric bootstrap is shown below. Given some data vector x with length n: Randomly select n points from x with replacement. This means the same point may appear up to n times in our new vector. Compute a statistic of interest. Store the statistic in an array.

2019年4月22日 · This article provides an introduction to the ordinary non-parametric bootstrap, which is arguably the most fundamental type. Here, we consider only the case that the population parameter...

2015年10月27日 · An alternative, called the non-parametric bootstrap, is to sample the $x^s_i$ (with replacement) from the original data $D$ , and then compute the induced distribution as before. Some methods for speeding up the bootstrap when applied to massive data sets are discussed in (Kleiner et al. 2011).

2019年3月8日 · So, instead of using observed data ( as a non-parametric bootstrap), we can use normal distribution function with probable parameter estimates ( which most likely the maximum likelihood...
