Abstract

Calculation of the bootstrap and the jackknife estimators of the variance of a statistic often relies on approximation techniques because the exact values are difficult if not impossible to obtain analytically. For the special case where the statistic is a linear combination of order statistics we propose to calculate the exact values combinatorically, thus completely eliminating the second-stage simulation error.
