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 ...

This paper is about the asymptotic distribution of linear combinations of stratum means in stratified sampling, with and without replacement. Both the number of strata and their size is arbitrary.

The nested bootstrap is a computer-intensive technique for reducing the statistical error in the ordinary bootstrap. We show how the Monte Carlo technique of ...

Just as we might consult multiple experts about a problem and then combine their advice to come to a consensus decision, repeated statistical analyses on the same data can be combined to form a single ...
