  1. Jackknife Estimator: Simple Definition & Overview. Statistics Definitions >. The jackknife (“leave one out”) can be used to reduce bias and estimate standard errors. It is an alternative to the bootstrap method.

  2. Schematic of Jackknife Resampling. In statistics, the jackknife (jackknife cross-validation) is a cross-validation technique and, therefore, a form of resampling. It is especially useful for bias and variance estimation. The jackknife pre-dates other common resampling methods such as the bootstrap.

  3. 3.2.2 Jackknife Standard Error Estimation Consider what we usually do when estimating a mean of a distribution. We use the sample mean X= Xn i=1 X i as our estimator. To see the relationship with jackknife estimation, we can write the mean with the ith observation removed as X (i) as: X (i) = P n j=1 X j X i n 1 Therefore an individual X i can ...

  4. We might think all we have to do is to take the raw data and construct means and standard errors at each time and then do a standard least chi square fit. We would get the best values for the parameters and and we would get the errors from the error matrix.

  5. Jackknife. One of the earliest techniques to obtain reliable statistical estimators is the jackknife technique. It requires less computational power than more recent techniques. Suppose we have a sample x ( x , x ,..., 2. x ) and an estimator.

  6. Jackknife Estimation • The jackknife (or leave one out) method, invented by Quenouille (1949), is an alternative resampling method to the bootstrap. • The method is based upon sequentially deleting one observation from the dataset, recomputing the estimator, here, , n times. That is, there are exactly n jackknife estimates obtained in a ...

  8. Mar 11, 2005 · Methods that try to estimate the bias and variability of an estima-tor Án(X1; X2; : : : ; Xn) by using the values of Án(X) on subsamples from X1; X2; : : : ; Xn are called resampling methods. Two common resampling methods are the jackknife, which is discussed below, and the bootstrap.
