Often, when estimating standard errors (SE) and confidence intervals (CI) for certain parameters (e.g., means, medians, correlation coefficients, kinetic parameters), we assume that the underlying ...

A large deviation result is established for the bootstrap empirical distribution in a finite sample space, thereby validating both nonparametric and parametric bootstrapping in certain phylogenetic ...

Discrete software reliability measurement has a proper characteristic for describing a software reliability growth process which depends on a unit of the software fault-detection period, such as the ...
