Nonparametric Confidence Sets for Functions
Last update: 08 Dec 2024 00:48First version: 30 August 2019
Yet another inadequate placeholder, for an important technical topic in statistics. (I don't work on it, but I need to understand it better than I do.) In particular, I cannot give you a good, intuitive explanation for why "just bootstrap" doesn't work.
