Balanced Design of Bootstrap Simulations
Bootstrap模拟的平衡设计
SUMMARY Davison et al. (1986) have shown that finite bootstrap simulations can be improved by forcing balance in the aggregate of simulated data sets. Their methods yield first-order balance, which principally affects bootstrap estimation of bias. Here we extend the methodology to second-order balance, which principally affects bootstrap estimation of variance. The particular techniques involve Latin square and balanced incomplete block designs. Numerical examples are given…
