Preferred term

bootstrapping  

Definition(s)

  • Bootstrapping is a computer—intensive, nonparametric approach to statistical inference. Rather than making assumptions about the sampling distribution of a statistic, bootstrapping uses the variability within a sample to estimate that sampling distribution empirically.
