Consistency of the Generalized Bootstrap for Degenerate $U$-Statistics
退化 U 统计量广义自助法的一致性
A generalized bootstrap version is defined for degenerate $U$-statistics. Our main result shows that the (conditional) distribution function of the bootstrapped degenerate $U$-statistic provides a consistent estimator for the unknown distribution function of the degenerate $U$-statistic under consideration. For the proof we rely on a rank statistic approach.
