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

Modeling traumatic brain injury lifetime data: Improved estimators for the Generalized Gamma distribution under small samples
Pedro Luiz Ramos,Diego C. Nascimento,Paulo H. Ferreira,Karina Tavares Weber,Taiza E. G. Santos,Francisco Louzada +5 more
TL;DR: This paper considers an amount of three real data sets related to traumatic brain injury caused by traffic accidents to demonstrate that the Generalized Gamma distribution is a simple alternative to be used in this type of applications for different occurrence rates and risks, and in the presence of small samples.

TL;DR: It is concluded that Her3-targeting vaccines activate HER3-specific T cells and induce anti-HER3 specific antibodies, which alters the intratumoral T cell infiltrate and responses to immune checkpoint inhibition.
