Small sample performance of jackknife confidence intervals for the james-stein estimator

Lee C. Adkins · Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation · 1990

The primary goal of this paper is to examine the small sample coverage probability and size of jackknife confidence intervals centered at a Stein-rule estimator. A Monte Carlo experiment is used to explore the coverage probabilities and lengths of nominal 90% and 95% delete-one and infinitesimal jackknife confidence intervals centered at the Stein-rule estimator; these are compared to those obtained using a bootstrap procedure.
