Randomized empirical processes and confidence bands via virtual resampling

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let X,X1,X2,cdots be independent real valued random variables with a common distribution function F, and consider X1,cdots,XN, possibly a big concrete data set, or an imaginary random sample of size Ngeq1 on X. In the latter case, or when a concrete data set in hand is too big to be entirely processed, then the sample distribution function FN and the the population distribution function F are both to be estimated. This, in this paper, is achieved via viewing X1,cdots,XN as above, as a finite population of real valued random variables with N labeled units, and sampling its indices 1,cdots,N with replacement mN:=sumi=1Nwi(N) times so that for each 1leqileqN, wi(N) is the count of number of times the index i of Xi is chosen in this virtual resampling process. This exposition extends the Doob-Donsker classical theory of weak convergence of empirical processes to that of the thus created randomly weighted empirical processes when N,mNightarrowinfty so that mN=o(N2).
