2 Jackknife Variance Estimation Create a new sample by deleting one observation n 1 n n ( x (k) x) 2 = x (k) = n x x k n 1 x (k) x = x k x n 1 1 n(n 1) n (x k x) 2 = n 1 sx 2 J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 2 / 28

3 Alternative Jackknife Weights n x (k) ψ = ψx k + (1 ψ) x (k) x (k) ψ x = ψ(x k x) + (1 ψ)( x (k) x) x (k) 1 ψ ψ x = (ψ n 1 )(x k x) = ( nψ 1 n 1 )(x k x) ψ (nψ x)2 1)2 n = (n 1) 2 (x k x) 2 ( x (k) If (nψ 1) 2 = n 1 n n (1 f ), then ( x (k) ψ x)2 = 1 n (1 f )s2 x.

Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 4 / 28

5 Theorem Theorem F N = {y 1,..., y N } : sequence of finite population y i iid(µ y, σ 2 y ) with finite 4 + δ moments g( ) : continuous function with continuous first derivative at µ y n 1 n n {g(ȳ (k) ) g(ȳ)} 2 = [g (ȳ)] 2 ˆV (ȳ) + o p (n 1 ) where ˆV (ȳ) = n 1 s 2 and g (ȳ) = g(ȳ) ȳ. J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 5 / 28

6 Proof of Theorem By a Taylor linearization, g(ȳ (k) ) = g(ȳ)+g (ȳ k )(ȳ (k) ȳ) = g(ȳ)+g (ȳ)(ȳ (k) ȳ)+r nk (ȳ (k) ȳ) for some ȳ k B δ k (ȳ), δ k = ȳ (k) ȳ where R nk = g (ȳ k ) g (ȳ). Thus, n { g(ȳ (k) ) g(ȳ)} 2 = = n { g (ȳk )} 2 (ȳ (k) ȳ) 2 n { g } 2 (ȳ) + R nk (ȳ (k) ȳ) 2 (i) max 1 k n ȳk ȳ 0 in probability. (ii) max 1 k n g (ȳk ) g (ȳ) 0 in probability. n 1 n n {g(ȳ (k) ) g(ȳ)} 2 = [g (ȳ)] 2 ˆV (ȳ) + o p (n 1 ) J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 6 / 28

7 Proof of (i) Pr[max ȳ (k) ȳ > ɛ] k for some c. max k ȳ (k) ȳ 0 in probability. max k ȳ k ȳ max k ȳ (k) ȳ 0 n Pr[ ȳ (k) ȳ > ɛ] n ɛ 2 E[ ȳ (k) ȳ 2 ] cv (ȳ) 0 J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 7 / 28

8 Proof of (ii) Since g (ȳ) g (µ y ) in probability, it suffices to show that max g (ȳk ) g (µ y ) = o p (1). k Now, note that { Pr max g (ȳk ) g (µ y ) } > ɛ k { +Pr max k Pr{max k ȳk µ y > δ} } ȳk µ y < δ, max g (ȳk ) g (µ y ) > ɛ k holds for any δ > 0. Since g (y) is continuous at y = µ y, we can choose δ such that the second term equals to zero. The first term converges to zero by (i). J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 8 / 28

9 Remainder with Second Derivatives If g( ) has continuous second derivatives at µ y, then n 1 (n 1) n [g(ȳ (k) ) g(ȳ)] 2 = [g (ȳ)] 2 ˆV (ȳ) + O p (n 2 ). Proof : [g(ȳ (k) ) g(ȳ)] 2 = [g (ȳ k )]2 (ȳ (k) ȳ) 2 g (ȳk )2 = [g (ȳ)] 2 + 2[g (ȳk (ȳk k ȳ) [g (ȳk )]2 = [g (ȳ)] 2 + K 1 ȳk ȳ for some K 1. Thus, since ȳ k ȳ = O p(n 1 ), we have the result. J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 9 / 28

11 Quantiles ξ p = Q(p) = F 1 (p), p (0, 1) where F (y) is cdf ˆξ p = ˆQ(p) = inf { ˆF (y) p}, p = 0.5 for median y ( ) 1 ˆF (y) = w i w i I (y i y) i A i A To reduce the bias, use interpolation: ˆξ p = ˆξ p0 + ˆξ p1 ˆξ p0 ˆF (ˆξ p1 ) ˆF (ˆξ p0 ) {p ˆF (ˆξ p0 )} where ˆξ p1 = inf x1,...,x n {x; ˆF (x) p} & ˆξ p0 = sup x1,...,x n {x; ˆF (x) p} J.

15 Bahadur representation Let ˆF (x) be an unbiased estimator of F (x), the population CDF of X. For given p (0, 1), we can define ζ p = F 1 (p) to be the p-th population quantile of X. Let ˆζ p = ˆF 1 (p) be the sample estimator of ζ p using ˆF. Also, define ˆp = ˆF (ζ p ). We are interested in applying a Taylor linearization of ˆζ p around p = ˆp. J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 15 / 28

16 Bahadur representation (Cont d) Note that, by Taylor linearization, ζ p = ˆF 1 (ˆp) = ˆF 1 (p) + d ˆF 1 (p) (ˆp p) dp = ˆF 1 (p) + df 1 (p) (ˆp p) dp = ˆζ p + 1 (ˆp p), f (ζ p ) where the last equality follows from dζ p /dp = (dp/dζ p ) 1 with p = F (ζ p ). Therefore, we have which is first established by Bahadur (1966). ˆζ p = ζp + 1 (p ˆp) (1) f (ζ p ) J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 16 / 28

17 From (1), we can use V (ˆζ p ) = {f (ζ p )} 2 V (ˆp), which requires knowledge of density function f ( ), or we need to estimate it. Define Q(p) = F 1 (p). Since 1 f (ζ p ) = dq(p) = dp Q(p + h) Q(p h), p + h (p h) we can use Q ( ˆp + 2 ) ( V (ˆp) Q ˆp 2 ) V (ˆp) ˆp + 2 V (ˆp) {ˆp 2 V (ˆp)} := ˆγ p to estimate 1/f (ζ p ). This is essentially the idea behind the test inversion method of Woodruff. J. Kim, W. Fuller (ISU) Chapter 4 7/31/11 17 / 28
