  2. Bootstrapping (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping_(statistics)

    Bootstrapping is any test or metric that uses random sampling with replacement (e.g. mimicking the sampling process), and falls under the broader class of resampling methods. Bootstrapping assigns measures of accuracy ( bias, variance, confidence intervals, prediction error, etc.) to sample estimates.

  3. Resampling (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resampling_(statistics)

    The best example of the plug-in principle, the bootstrapping method. Bootstrapping is a statistical method for estimating the sampling distribution of an estimator by sampling with replacement from the original sample, most often with the purpose of deriving robust estimates of standard errors and confidence intervals of a population parameter like a mean, median, proportion, odds ratio ...

  4. Jackknife resampling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackknife_resampling

    In statistics, the jackknife (jackknife cross-validation) is a cross-validation technique and, therefore, a form of resampling . It is especially useful for bias and variance estimation. The jackknife pre-dates other common resampling methods such as the bootstrap. Given a sample of size , a jackknife estimator can be built by aggregating the ...

  5. Out-of-bag error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out-of-bag_error

    One set, the bootstrap sample, is the data chosen to be "in-the-bag" by sampling with replacement. The out-of-bag set is all data not chosen in the sampling process. When this process is repeated, such as when building a random forest , many bootstrap samples and OOB sets are created.

  6. Bootstrap error-adjusted single-sample technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_error-adjusted...

    In statistics, the bootstrap error-adjusted single-sample technique ( BEST or the BEAST) is a non-parametric method that is intended to allow an assessment to be made of the validity of a single sample. It is based on estimating a probability distribution representing what can be expected from valid samples. [1]

  7. Robust statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robust_statistics

    So, in this sample of 66 observations, only 2 outliers cause the central limit theorem to be inapplicable. Robust statistical methods, of which the trimmed mean is a simple example, seek to outperform classical statistical methods in the presence of outliers, or, more generally, when underlying parametric assumptions are not quite correct.

  8. Bootstrap aggregating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_aggregating

    v. t. e. Bootstrap aggregating, also called bagging (from b ootstrap agg regat ing ), is a machine learning ensemble meta-algorithm designed to improve the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms used in statistical classification and regression. It also reduces variance and helps to avoid overfitting.

  9. Cross-validation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-validation_(statistics)

    The statistic of the bootstrap needs to accept an interval of the time series and return the summary statistic on it. The call to the stationary bootstrap needs to specify an appropriate mean interval length. Applications. Cross-validation can be used to compare the performances of different predictive modeling procedures.
