The International Prize in Statistics has been awarded to Bradley Efron, professor of statistics and biomedical data science at Stanford University, in recognition of the "bootstrap," a method he ...

The boostrap method works for both smooth and nonsmooth statistics, and replaces theoretical derivations by routine computations. With survey data sampled using a stratified multistage sampling design ...

We develop analytical approximations to bootstrap distribution functions of statistics that are smooth functions of vector means. In particular, our technique is applicable in the case of bootstrap ...

US statistician Bradley Efron at Stanford University in California has won the 2018 International Prize in Statistics for pioneering the ‘bootstrap’ method for measuring the reliability of small data ...
