Higher order accuracy of the bootstrap method for smooth functionals

In this paper we consider bootstrap of a smooth functional T. We give a simple proof for the higher order accuracy of the bootstrap estimate. In particular, we show that the expectation of a smooth function of the studentised functional is estimated to order $O_{P}(n^{-1})$. Furthermore for symmetri...

Description
Summary:In this paper we consider bootstrap of a smooth functional T. We give a simple proof for the higher order accuracy of the bootstrap estimate. In particular, we show that the expectation of a smooth function of the studentised functional is estimated to order $O_{P}(n^{-1})$. Furthermore for symmetric functions the rate of convergence increases to $O_{P}(n^{-3/2})$. These results are in agreement with Hall (1986, 1988, 1992), where these rates of convergence have been shown for functionals which are implicit or explicit functions of vector means.
