Bootstrap Methods: Another Look at the Jackknife is a research paper published in The Annals of Statistics (1979). On theSindex it has a DataRank of 1.5. It has been cited 17,324 times.
We discuss the following problem: given a random sample $\\mathbf{X} = (X_1, X_2, \\cdots, X_n)$ from an unknown probability distribution $F$, estimate the sampling distribution of some prespecified random variable $R(\\mathbf{X}, F)$, on the basis of the observed data $\\mathbf{x}$. (Standard jackknife theory gives an approximate mean and variance in the case $R(\\mathbf{X}, F) = \\theta(\\hat{F}) - \\theta(F), \\theta$ some parameter of interest.) A general method, called the "bootstrap," is introduced, and shown to work satisfactorily on a variety of estimation problems. The jackknife is shown to be a linear approximation method for the bootstrap. The exposition proceeds by a series of examples: variance of the sample median, error rates in a linear discriminant analysis, ratio estimation, estimating regression parameters, etc.
