ajs_jackknife.pro

This function returns the jackknife method-estimated standard deviation (and optionally the jackknife mean) of n resamplings of a quantity, where each of the n estimates of the quantity is generated by removing (1/n) of the original sample data points.

Routines

result = ajs_jackknife(jackknife_estimates [, original_estimate=original_estimate] [, bias_correction=bias_correction] [, jackknife_mean=jackknife_mean])

This function returns the jackknife method-estimated standard deviation (and optionally the jackknife mean) of n resamplings of a quantity, where each of the n estimates of the quantity is generated by removing (1/n) of the original sample data points.

Routine details

topajs_jackknife

result = ajs_jackknife(jackknife_estimates [, original_estimate=original_estimate] [, bias_correction=bias_correction] [, jackknife_mean=jackknife_mean])

This function returns the jackknife method-estimated standard deviation (and optionally the jackknife mean) of n resamplings of a quantity, where each of the n estimates of the quantity is generated by removing (1/n) of the original sample data points.

Return value

Return value is the jackknife standard deviation or, if jackknife_estimates is [m, n], returns jackknife covariance matrix [m, m]

Parameters

jackknife_estimates in required

[n] or [m, n] array of n estimates of a quantity, or n estimates of m quantities

Keywords

original_estimate in optional

Supply this value to get bias correction (see below)

bias_correction out optional

Bias-corrected estimate is x_c = x + b where x is the original estimate and b is the bias_correction

jackknife_mean out optional

Mean of the jackknife samples (NB different from bias-corrected estimate)
