Distribution Estimation Using Concomitants of Order Statistics, with Application to Monte Carlo Simulation for the Bootstrap
利用次序统计量伴随变量估计分布:自助法 Monte Carlo 模拟应用
SUMMARY We show that a simulation method suggested by Efron for approximating bootstrap distributions is closely related to techniques based on concomitants of order statistics and develop its asymptotic properties from that viewpoint. We prove that the method produces Monte Carlo approximations with variance and mean-squared error decreasing like B− 1 n− 1/2, where B denotes the number of simulations and n equals the sample size. Therefore Efron's method can be a competitor…
