Abstract
The emergence of massive data in recent years brings challenges to automatic statistical inference. This is particularly true if the data are too numerous to be read into memory as a whole. Accordingly, new sampling techniques are needed to sample data from a hard drive. In this paper, we propose a sequential addressing subsampling (SAS) method that can sample data directly from the hard drive. The newly proposed SAS method is time saving in terms of addressing cost compared to that of the random addressing subsampling (RAS) method. Estimators (e.g., the sample mean) based on the SAS subsamples are constructed, and their properties are studied. We conduct a series of simulation studies to verify the finite sample performance of the proposed SAS estimators. The time cost is also compared between the SAS and RAS methods. An analysis of the airline data is presented for illustration purpose.
