The Jackknife, the Bootstrap, and Other Resampling Plans (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)

About “The Jackknife, the Bootstrap, and Other Resampling Plans (CBMS-NSF Regional Conference Series in Applied Mathematics)”

This monograph by Bradley Efron from 1982 explores the nonparametric estimation of bias, variance, and other measures of error. The work focuses on statistical methods that do not rely on specific parametric assumptions. Efron examines techniques for assessing the accuracy of estimators without assuming a particular distributional form. The goal is to provide a deeper understanding of error measurement in statistical estimation. The monograph contributes to the development of nonparametric statistical theory.
