On general resampling algorithms and their performance in distribution estimation

Recent work of several authors has focussed on first-order properties (e.g., consistency) of general bootstrap algorithms, where the numbers of times that data values are resampled form an exchangeable sequence. In the present paper we develop second-order properties of such algorithms, in a very ge...

Description
Summary:Recent work of several authors has focussed on first-order properties (e.g., consistency) of general bootstrap algorithms, where the numbers of times that data values are resampled form an exchangeable sequence. In the present paper we develop second-order properties of such algorithms, in a very general setting. Performance is discussed in the context of distribution estimation, and formulae for higher-order moments and cumulants are developed. Arguing thus, necessary and sufficient conditions are given for general resampling algorithms to correctly capture second-order properties.
