Abstract

Exact analytic expressions for the bootstrap mean and variance of any L-estimator are obtained, thus eliminating the error due to bootstrap resampling. The expressions follow from the direct calculation of the bootstrap mean vector and covariance matrix of the whole set of order statistics. By using these expressions, recommendations can be made about the appropriateness of bootstrap estimation under given conditions.
