Efficiency and robustness in resampling

From MaRDI portal





The goal of this paper is to provide a unified framework for classifying different jackknife and bootstrap procedures for linear regression models into two types, type \(E\) (the efficient ones) and type \(R\) (the robust ones). After an introductory first section, section 2 addresses the simple linear regression model \(Y_ i=x_ i\beta+\varepsilon_ i\) with independent errors \(\varepsilon_ i\approx (0,\sigma^ 2_ 1)\) where least squares estimation of \(\beta\) is of interest. It is shown that the resampling variances of the regression estimators satisfy exactly one of two possible representations. This depends mainly on \(\sum x^ 2_ i\). The two representations characterize the efficient and robust groups. Section 3 extends the result to general linear regression. The case of the classical bootstrap in the \(E\)-type and the external bootstrap in the \(R\)-type are presented in detail, other resampling procedures are outlined.
