Differentiable Functionals and Smoothed Bootstrap [PDF]
The differentiability properties of statistical functionals have several interesting applications. We are concerned with two of them. First, we prove a result on asymptotic validity for the so-called smoothed bootstrap (where the artificial samples are drawn from a density estimator instead of being resampled from the original data).

The Missing Censoring Indicator Model and the Smoothed Bootstrap. [PDF]
For right censored data with missing censoring indicators, sub-density function kernel estimators play a significant role for estimating a survival function. Data-driven bandwidths for computing these kernel estimators are proposed. The bandwidths are obtained as minimizers of certain estimates of the mean integrated squared error (MISE).

Smoothed Bootstrap Methods for Hypothesis Testing [PDF]
AbstractThis paper demonstrates the application of smoothed bootstrap methods and Efron’s methods for hypothesis testing on real-valued data, right-censored data and bivariate data. The tests include quartile hypothesis tests, two sample medians and Pearson and Kendall correlation tests.

High-order Coverage of Smoothed Bayesian Bootstrap Intervals for Population Quantiles
We characterize the high-order coverage accuracy of smoothed and unsmoothed Bayesian bootstrap confidence intervals for population quantiles. Although the original (Rubin 1981) unsmoothed intervals have the same O(n−1/2) coverage error as the standard ...

Smoothed estimator of the periodic hazard function [PDF]
A smoothed estimator of the periodic hazard function is considered and its asymptotic probability distribution and bootstrap simultaneous confidence intervals are derived.

The Smoothed Bootstrap Fine-Tuning [PDF]
Abstract The bootstrap method is a well-known method to gather a full probability distribution from the dataset of a small sample. The simple bootstrap i.e. resampling from the raw dataset often leads to a significant irregularities in a shape of resulting empirical distribution due to the discontinuity of a support.

Bootstrap Bandwidth Selection and Confidence Regions for Double Smoothed Default Probability Estimation [PDF]
For a fixed time, t, and a horizon time, b, the probability of default (PD) measures the probability that an obligor, that has paid his/her credit until time t, runs into arrears not later that time t+b.

A smoothing and bootstrap-based framework for early outbreak detection. [PDF]
Timely detection of infectious disease outbreaks is critical for effective public health response. The effective reproduction number (Rt) is a key metric that captures transmission dynamics and signals the potential onset of outbreaks when it rises above

On confidence intervals centred on bootstrap smoothed estimators [PDF]
Bootstrap smoothed (bagged) estimators have been proposed as an improvement on estimators found after preliminary data‐based model selection. Efron derived a widely applicable formula for a delta method approximation to the standard deviation of the bootstrap smoothed estimator. He also considered a confidence interval centred on the bootstrap smoothed

The dataset tends to have the possibility to experience imbalance as indicated by the presence of a class with a much larger number (majority) compared to other classes(minority).
