We propose a novel bootstrap hypothesis testing approach for the problem of testing a null hypothesis of a common mean direction, mean polar axis, or mean shape across several populations of real unit ...

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 ...

The boostrap method works for both smooth and nonsmooth statistics, and replaces theoretical derivations by routine computations. With survey data sampled using a stratified multistage sampling design ...

Nonparametric methods form an important core of statistical techniques and are typically used when data do not meet parametric assumptions. Understanding the foundation of these methods, as well as ...

For certain classes of data that may be very expensive or difficult to obtain, a new statistical technique may provide useful information from a single data run by allowing meaningful re-sampling. The ...

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 ...
