Tryon, Warren W. – 1984
A normally distributed data set of 1,000 values--ranging from 50 to 150, with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 20--was created in order to evaluate the bootstrap method of repeated random sampling. Nine bootstrap samples of N=10 and nine more bootstrap samples of N=25 were randomly selected. One thousand random samples were selected from…

Zeng, Lingjia – 1991
Large sample standard errors of linear equating for the single-group design are derived without making the normality assumption. Two general methods based on the delta method of M. Kendall and A. Stuart (1977) are described. One method uses the exact partial derivatives, and the other uses numerical derivatives. Simulation using the beta-binomial…
