Bootstrap Interval

A type of statistical interval estimate used to estimate the distribution of a statistic by resampling with replacement from the data.

BCa Interval

Bias-Corrected and accelerated interval, a type of confidence interval used in statistics to provide a range that is likely to contain the true population parameter, accounting for bias and skewness in the bootstrap distribution.

Bootstrap Distribution

A method in statistics for estimating the sampling distribution of an estimator by resampling with replacement from the original sample.

Bootstrap Confidence Interval

A type of confidence interval calculated by resampling a dataset with replacement and estimating the desired statistic multiple times.
