Smoothed pseudo-population bootstrap methods with applications to finite
population quantiles
This paper introduces smoothed pseudo-population bootstrap methods for the purposes of variance estimation and the construction of confidence intervals for finite population quantiles. In an i.i.d. context, it has been shown that resampling from a smoothed estimate of the distribution function instead of the usual empirical distribution function can improve …
