accelerationFactor

fun accelerationFactor(originalData: DoubleArray, estimator: BSEstimatorIfc): Double

For the so called, BCa, interval, the approach requires an acceleration factor. The acceleration factor measures the rate of change of the standard error of the estimator with respect to the target parameter on a normalized scale. This function computes the acceleration factor based on the bootstrap estimates and the original estimated quantity using jackknifing.

Parameters

originalData

the original data used in the bootstrapping process

estimator

the estimator used in the bootstrapping process
