Recent Developments in Bootstrap Methodology

چکیده
Ever since its introduction, the bootstrap has provided both a powerful set of solutions for practical statisticians, and a rich source of theoretical and methodological problems for statistics. In this article, some recent developments in bootstrap methodology are reviewed and discussed. After a brief introduction to the bootstrap, we consider the following topics at varying levels of detail: the use of bootstrapping for highly accurate parametric inference; theoretical properties of nonparametric bootstrapping with unequal probabilities; subsampling and the m out of n bootstrap; bootstrap failures and remedies for superefficient estimators; recent topics in significance testing; bootstrap improvements of unstable classifiers and resampling for dependent data. The treatment is telegraphic rather than exhaustive.

Semiparametric Bootstrap Prediction Intervals in time Series
One of the main goals of studying the time series is estimation of prediction interval based on an observed sample path of the process. In recent years, different semiparametric bootstrap methods have been proposed to find the prediction intervals without any assumption of error distribution. In semiparametric bootstrap methods, a linear process is approximated by an autoregressive process. The...
متن کاملBootstrap: A Statistical Method
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 sho...
متن کاملOn the Expectations Hypothesis in US Term Structure
We extend the vector autoregression (VAR) based expectations hypothesis test of term structure, considered in Bekaert & Hodrick (2001) using recent developments in bootstrap literature. Modifications include the use of wild bootstrap to allow for conditional heteroskedasticity in the VAR residuals without imposing strict parameterization, endogeneous model selection procedure in the bootstrap r...
متن کاملI-17: Recent Developments in Animal Welfare Sciencee
The methodology for the scientific assessment of animal welfare has developed rapidly in recent years and has become a major scientific discipline. The concepts of welfare, need, stress, health, pain, emotion and feeling are now clarified. In teaching, legislation and practical work referring to animal welfare, a clear definition that can be related to other concepts is needed. The welfare of a...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Discrete Event Systems
This article is a brief exposure of the process approach to a newly emerging area called "discrete event systems" in control theory and summarizes some of the recent developments in this area. Discrete event systems is an area of research that is developing within the interstices of computer, control and communication sciences. The basic direction of research addresses issues in the analysis an...
