| Summary: | Determining the variance of a statistic (such as the sample median) can be difficult. Various methods of Bootstrapping (re-sampling with replacement) were used to estimate variance of one or more statistics based on a single sample. This estimator was compared to the empirical estimators based on repeated simulations of various sample sizes from a given distribution. Of particular interest was which of the methods of Bootstrapping were most effective with a dependent data set. Different degrees of dependency were used for the simulations with dependent data. | |
