Dear Allstat
I have a simple question regarding the nonparametric
bootstrap estimate for the variance of a response y.
If we have say n observations for a response y, I
think it is true to say that the nonparametric
bootstrap will give an estimate for the variance of y
given by
(n-1/n)*var(y)
Can anyone provide a reference for the proof of this
result.
Many Thanks
