Bootstrap confidence intervals

研究问题: 如何用自助法（bootstrap）构造近似置信区间，使其精度比标准区间 $\hat{\theta} \pm z^{(\alpha)} \hat{\sigma}$ 提高一个数量级，并能常规应用于非常复杂的问题。
方法与思路: 文章以启发式概述加理论说明的方式，介绍四类自助置信区间程序： $BC_a$ 、bootstrap-t、ABC 与校准；前七节给出直觉与示例，后两节讨论这些方法背后的理论及其与基于似然的置信区间理论的联系。
摘要陈述的贡献: 摘要明确称本文是一项综述，系统梳理了产生良好近似置信区间的自助方法，并用理论与例子展示如何实现精度提升；同时指出这些方法与 Barndorff-Nielsen、Cox、Reid 等人发展的基于似然的置信区间理论关系密切。
预备知识: 建议先掌握：参数估计与标准误、正态近似区间、经验分布与重抽样思想、bootstrap 分布、偏差与偏度概念、似然推断与鞍点近似的基本直觉，以及覆盖率与二阶精度的含义。
阅读重点: 阅读时重点核对：四类方法各自的构造步骤与适用条件；精度提升所依赖的假设（如平滑性、枢轴量近似、变换不变性）； $BC_a$ 中加速度常数与偏差校正项的来源；校准的含义与代价；以及理论与似然区间对应关系的推导前提。
阅读边界: 基于原文摘要，未阅读全文；摘要只给出综述范围与四类方法名称，未提供具体定理、数值结果或实证结论，上述方法细节与预备知识属于一般计量背景与阅读建议。

This article surveys bootstrap methods for producing good approximate confidence intervals. The goal is to improve by an order of magnitude upon the accuracy of the standard intervals $\hat{\theta} \pm z^{(\alpha)} \hat{\sigma}$, in a way that allows routine application even to very complicated problems. Both theory and examples are used to show how this is done. The first seven sections provide a heuristic overview of four bootstrap confidence interval procedures: $BC_a$, bootstrap-t , ABC and calibration. Sections 8 and 9 describe the theory behind these methods, and their close connection with the likelihood-based confidence interval theory developed by Barndorff-Nielsen, Cox and Reid and others.
