  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. Mediation (statistics) - Wikipedia

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

    The Preacher and Hayes bootstrapping method is a non-parametric test and does not impose the assumption of normality. Therefore, if the raw data is available, the bootstrap method is recommended. Bootstrapping involves repeatedly randomly sampling observations with replacement from the data set to compute the desired statistic in each resample.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. Out-of-bag error - Wikipedia

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

    Only patients in the bootstrap sample would be used to train the model for that bag. This example shows how bagging could be used in the context of diagnosing disease. A set of patients are the original dataset, but each model is trained only by the patients in its bag. The patients in each out-of-bag set can be used to test their respective ...

  8. Surrogate data testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogate_data_testing

    Surrogate data testing. Surrogate data testing [1] (or the method of surrogate data) is a statistical proof by contradiction technique similar to permutation tests [2] and parametric bootstrapping. It is used to detect non-linearity in a time series. [3] The technique involves specifying a null hypothesis describing a linear process and then ...

  9. Computational phylogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_phylogenetics

    The statistical rigor of the bootstrap test has been empirically evaluated using viral populations with known evolutionary histories, finding that 70% bootstrap support corresponds to a 95% probability that the clade exists. However, this was tested under ideal conditions (e.g. no change in evolutionary rates, symmetric phylogenies).
