TLDR
Bootstrap methods for estimating confidence intervals have been surveyed in this article, with a focus on improving the accuracy of the standard confidence intervals in a way that allows routine application even to very complicated problems.Abstract:
This article surveys bootstrap methods for producing good approximate confidence intervals. The goal is to improve by an order of magnitude upon the accuracy of the standard intervals $\hat{\theta} \pm z^{(\alpha)} \hat{\sigma}$, in a way that allows routine application even to very complicated problems. Both theory and examples are used to show how this is done. The first seven sections provide a heuristic overview of four bootstrap confidence interval procedures: $BC_a$, bootstrap-t , ABC and calibration. Sections 8 and 9 describe the theory behind these methods, and their close connection with the likelihood-based confidence interval theory developed by Barndorff-Nielsen, Cox and Reid and others.read more

Estimation of diffusion coefficients from voltammetric signals by support vector and gaussian process regression
TL;DR: Estimated diffusion coefficients closely matched the values determined by the parameter fitting method, but reduced the required computational time considerably for one of the reaction mechanisms.

Lag length selection and p-hacking in Granger causality testing: prevalence and performance of meta-regression models
Stephan B. Bruns,David I. Stern +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that overfitted lag lengths and the corresponding false-positive findings of Granger causality can frequently occur in research designs that are prevalent in empirical macroeconomics, and it is demonstrated that meta-regression models can control for spuriously significant Granger causability tests due to over fitted lag lengths.

Better Bootstrap Confidence Intervals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of setting approximate confidence intervals for a single parameter θ in a multiparameter family, and propose a method to automatically incorporate transformations, bias corrections, and so on.
Beiter Bootstrap Confidence Intervals
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of setting approximate confidence intervals for a single parameter 0 in a multiparameter family, and propose the bootstrap confidence intervals that automatically incorporate transformations, bias corrections, and so forth.
