Description

The bootstrap method for statistical inference.

Synopsis

Documentation

Arguments

:: CL Double	Confidence level
-> Sample	Full data sample
-> [( Estimator , Bootstrap Vector Double )]	Estimates obtained from resampled data and estimator used for this.
-> [ Estimate ConfInt Double ]

Bias-corrected accelerated (BCA) bootstrap. This adjusts for both bias and skewness in the resampled distribution.

BCA algorithm is described in ch. 5 of Davison, Hinkley "Confidence intervals" in section 5.3 "Percentile method"

Arguments

:: ( Vector v a, Ord a, Num a)
=> CL Double	Confidence vector
-> Bootstrap v a	Estimate from full sample and vector of estimates obtained from resamples
-> Estimate ConfInt a

Basic bootstrap. This method simply uses empirical quantiles for confidence interval.
