Abstract

We investigate the bootstrap methodology and current applications. The bootstrap is a non-parametric resampling method that has universal applicability thanks to the statistical concepts of weak convergence, the law of large numbers, and the central limit theorem. Modern applications of bootstrap methodology have demonstrated time and time again that it is computationally efficient and robust. The earliest days of the bootstrap saw it validated by generating statistics, confidence intervals, and hypothesis tests. It is important to note the universal application and efficiency of the bootstrap, especially when researchers are tempted to utilize the more financially and computationally expensive techniques of AI.
