The Jackknife in Monte Carlo Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
The jackknife has a long history as a tool for reducing bias and estimating variances. Here we highlight the use of the jackknife to produce standard errors in Monte Carlo studies and illustrate it with F-statistics also based on the jackknife.

Delete-m Jackknife for Unequal m
In this paper, the delete-mj jackknife estimator is proposed. This estimator is based on samples obtained from the original sample by successively removing mutually exclusive groups of unequal size. In a Monte Carlo simulation study, a hierarchical linear model was used to evaluate the role of nonnormal residuals and sample size on bias and eciency of this estimator. It is shown that bias is r...
متن کاملThe Case Against JIVE
We perform an extensive series of Monte Carlo experiments to compare the performance of the “Jackknife Instrumental Variables Estimator,” or JIVE, with that of the more familiar 2SLS and LIML estimators. We find no evidence to suggest that JIVE should ever be used. It is always more dispersed than 2SLS, often very much so, and it is almost always inferior to LIML in all respects. Interestingly,...
متن کاملTesting Overidentifying Restrictions with Many Instruments and Heteroskedasticity∗
This paper gives a test of overidentifying restrictions that is robust to many instruments and heteroskedasticity. It is based on a jackknife version of the overidentifying test statistic. Correct asymptotic critical values are derived for this statistic when the number of instruments grows large, at a rate up to the sample size. It is also shown that the test is valid when the number instrumen...
متن کاملA New Jackknife Empirical Likelihood Method for U-Statistics
U-statistics generalizes the concept of mean of independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables and is widely utilized in many estimating and testing problems. The standard empirical likelihood (EL) for U-statistics is computationally expensive because of its nonlinear constraint. The jackknife empirical likelihood method largely relieves computation burden by circumventing the co...
متن کاملSome new analytic procedures in the Sib - pair statistical genetics package , 2011
Sib-pair is an extensible software package for genetic data manipulation and analysis. It provides interactive access to a large number of standard analyses, as well as some methodological novelties. In the following, I will give an overview of the program, and then describe some areas of recent development: extrapolation of extreme Monte Carlo P-values, the use of the grouped jackknife for int...
