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

The contrast effect: QoE of mixed video-qualities at the same time
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a crowdsourcing study, in which they gathered over 5000 perceived quality ratings of overall sessions and individual streams, and found that users are more critical when asked for individual streams than for an overall rating.

PCA-based bootstrap confidence interval tests for gene-disease association involving multiple SNPs
TL;DR: PCA-BCIT is a valid and powerful method for assessing gene-disease association involving multiple SNPs, which maintains nominal level under null hypothesis and showed comparable performance with permutation test.

TL;DR: In this article, phase shift is the most accurate component of autoregulation monitoring in the developing brain, and it can be measured using correlation or by calculating phase when coherence is maximal.

On the Significance of Category Prediction for Code-Comment Synchronization
TL;DR: A composite approach named CBS (i.e., Classifying Before Synchronizing) is proposed to further improve the code-comment synchronization performance, which combines the advantages of CUP and HebCUP with the assistance of inferred categories of Code-Comment Inconsistent (CCI) samples.

K-Means Clustering to Study How Student Reasoning Lines Can Be Modified by a Learning Activity Based on Feynman's Unifying Approach.
TL;DR: Students reasoning lines seem to have clearly evolved to explicative ones and it is reasonable to think that the Feynman Unifying Approach has favoured this change.

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.
