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 ...

This paper gives new proofs for many known results about the convergence in law of the bootstrap distribution to the true distribution of smooth statistics, whether the samples studied come from ...
