| Course abstract |
Bootstrap methods introduced by Bradley Efron (1979) belong to the class of computer-intensive methods useful for statistical analysis. They are based on simulation techniques and can be used to calculate standard errors, confidence intervals and significance tests. The methods are today not only used by statisticians, but also applied by researchers in the life sciences, medical sciences, social sciences, business, econometrics, and other areas where by tradition statistics is used. The methods apply for any level of modelling, and can be used for parametric, semi-parametric, and nonparametric analysis. This course will present a broad and up-to-date coverage of bootstrap methods with many applied examples. |
