    • A nonparametric point estimation technique using the m-out-of-n bootstrap 

      Santana, Leonard; Swanepoel, Jan W.H. (SASA, 2018)
      We investigate a method which can be used to improve an existing point estimator by a modification of the estimator and by using the m-out-of-n bootstrap. The estimation method used, known as bootstrap robust aggregating ...
    • On a new method for constructing bootstrap confidence bounds 

      Pretorius, Charl (North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2017)
      It is well-known that the standard methods for constructing bootstrap confidence bounds or intervals are in many situations not sufficiently accurate, that is, coverage probabilities converge to the nominal level at ...
    • On the asymptotic theory of new bootstrap confidence bounds 

      Pretorius, Charl; Swanepoel, Jan W.H. (IMS, 2018)
      We propose a new method, based on sample splitting, for constructing bootstrap confidence bounds for a parameter appearing in the regular smooth function model. It has been demonstrated in the literature, for example, ...
