PHYSTAT Seminar: An Introduction to the Nonparametric Bootstrap

by Charles Geyer (School of Statistics and Minnesota Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Minnesota)

→ Europe/Zurich
Description

 

This talk introduces Efron's original nonparametric bootstrap and the subsampling bootstrap (Politis and Romano).  It does not require knowledge of theoretical statistics.  Topics covered include

  * bootstrap t confidence intervals,

  * bootstrap percentile confidence intervals,

  * second order correct procedures,

  * why naive bootstrap procedures do not work for hypothesis tests  and what to do about it (invert a bootstrap confidence interval),

  * why naive bootstrap procedures do not work for regression and what to do about it (bootstrap residuals), and

  * the subsampling bootstrap for time series and other applications for which Efron's original nonparametric bootstrap fails.
