What is recorded here?
Introduced the bootstrap as a general resampling method for estimating sampling distributions from observed data and related the jackknife to a linear approximation of the bootstrap.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Efron's sole-author 1979 Annals of Statistics paper. Its demonstrations and satisfactory-performance statements concern the examples and estimands analyzed there; bootstrap validity still depends on sampling structure and regularity conditions.
