Simple Bootstrap Method

A Simple Bootstrap Method is a bootstrap resampling method that performs uniform resampling with replacement from original samples without stratification or structure preservation.

• AKA: Ordinary Bootstrap, Standard Bootstrap, Vanilla Bootstrap, Basic Bootstrap Method.
• Context:
  • It can typically assume Independent Identical Distribution of sample observations.
  • It can typically generate Bootstrap Samples of same size as original.
  • It can often provide Asymptotically Valid inference for smooth statistics.
  • It can often fail with Dependent Data or heterogeneous populations.
  • It can support Percentile Methods for confidence intervals.
  • It can enable Bias Estimation through bootstrap means.
  • It can facilitate Variance Estimation for complex estimators.
  • It can integrate with Parallel Computing for efficient computation.
  • It can range from being a Small-Sample Bootstrap to being a Large-Sample Bootstrap, depending on its sample size.
  • It can range from being a Single-Stage Bootstrap to being a Double Bootstrap, depending on its nesting level.
  • It can range from being a Parametric Simple Bootstrap to being a Non-Parametric Simple Bootstrap, depending on its distribution assumption.
  • It can range from being a Fixed-B Bootstrap to being a Adaptive-B Bootstrap, depending on its iteration count.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Basic Implementations, such as:
    • Percentile Bootstrap for interval estimation.
    • Basic Bootstrap Test for hypothesis testing.
    • Bootstrap Standard Error for uncertainty estimation.
  • Application Areas, such as:
    • Regression Bootstrap for model inference.
    • Mean Bootstrap for average estimation.
    • Correlation Bootstrap for association measures.
  • Computational Variants, such as:
    • Bag of Little Bootstraps for big data.
    • Subsampling Bootstrap for computational efficiency.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Stratified Bootstrap Method, which preserves stratum structure.
  • Block Bootstrap, which handles time dependence.
  • Jackknife Method, which uses systematic deletion.
