18. Bootstrapp<strong>in</strong>g<br />

• Suppose that we estimate a functional = ( )<br />

by ˆ = ( ˆ ) and then assess the performance<br />

through some measure ( ) which we estimate<br />

by ( ˆ ). (Notethatnowthefunctionalbe<strong>in</strong>g<br />

estimated depends on , so that the preced<strong>in</strong>g<br />

theory need not apply.) Examples are<br />

³√<br />

(i) ( )= <br />

³ˆ − ( )´<br />

≤ ´<br />

<br />

i<br />

(ii) bias ( )= <br />

hˆ − ( )<br />

∙ i´2¸<br />

(iii) variance ( )= <br />

³ˆ − <br />

hˆ <br />

The plug-<strong>in</strong> estimator is obta<strong>in</strong>ed by replac<strong>in</strong>g<br />

every occurrence of by ˆ . In (i), is replaced<br />

by ˆ <strong>in</strong> and <strong>in</strong> ( ). But also ˆ <br />

depends on s<strong>in</strong>ce the sample values are i.i.d.<br />
