To present a resampling approach to obtain confidence intervals (CIs) and the empirical distributions for the studentized regression residuals percentiles when used as cutoff points for overweight and ...

An approach combining saddlepoint approximation and importance resampling is developed for approximating the bootstrap distribution of a statistic which is a smooth function of sample means. The idea ...

This paper gives new proofs for many known results about the convergence in law of the bootstrap distribution to the true distribution of smooth statistics, whether the samples studied come from ...

The International Prize in Statistics has been awarded to Bradley Efron, professor of statistics and biomedical data science at Stanford University, in recognition of the "bootstrap," a method he ...

In this paper, the authors refer to the axiomatic theory of risk and investigate the problem of formal verification of the expected shortfall (ES) model based on a sample ES. Recognizing the ...
