To present a resampling approach to obtain confidence intervals (CIs) and the empirical distributions for the studentized regression residuals percentiles when used as cutoff points for overweight and ...

The International Prize in Statistics has been awarded to Bradley Efron, professor of statistics and biomedical data science at Stanford University, in recognition of the "bootstrap," a method he ...

Efron's nonparametric bootstrap method simulates the distributional properties of a statistic by repeated resampling of a given sample. A balanced bootstrap simulation is one in which each sample ...

An approach combining saddlepoint approximation and importance resampling is developed for approximating the bootstrap distribution of a statistic which is a smooth function of sample means. The idea ...
