It is a good introduction book

This book is designed for people who do not have have background in bootstrap. I found that it is easy to read and understand. You could follow the examples of this book and directly to the "R". Reader should read this book before going to read the "Bootstrap Methods and Their Application".

Dirty your hands and you will get a lot from this book.

Efron's bootstrap text

Brad Efron wrote the key paper rediscovering the bootstrap and putting it in its proper place with other resampling techniques in his famous 1979 paper in the Annals of Statistics. His work was a breakthrough that has now led to hundreds of other publications and several books on the bootstrap and more general resampling procedures by himself, his students and many other statisticians. In fact I am working on a book with goals similar to what he and Rob Tibshirani achieve in this monograph. It is a concise and accurate presentation of the bootstrap and its wide variety of applications and is very much up to the state-of-the-art in this rapidly growing area of statistics. It is written in an intuitive fashion and avoids much of the mathematics (Edgeworth expansions etc.) which are needed to provide formal proof that the bootstrap does what it is intended to do. Provides most of the important references up through 1993. For a similar treatment that is more current, see Davison and Hinkley (1997). Bootstrap Methods and their Application. Those interested in the theory and formal mathematics should consult Hall (1992). The Bootstrap and Edgeworth Expansion.

Excellent textbook on Bootstrap and Jackknife techniques

This book is exactly what it advertises to be: a comprehensive discussion of the Bootstrap and Jackknife techniques for analyzing statistical data. Well written and clear, it helps to have had at least calculus in school for understanding. Highly recommended.

The book provides an exceptional introduction to the bootstrap method. The chapters are short, well written and fully of examples. Bradley Efron is the inventor of bootstrap and the reading of its book is indicated to whom really wants to understand the essence and the potential applications of bootstrap technique.

An Introduction to the Bootstrap

I was Happy that the book was first of all delivered on time,secondly in good condititon and the price was quite reasonable for me especially because I am a student.

Statistics is a subject of many uses and surprisingly few effective practitioners. The traditional road to statistical knowledge is blocked, for most, by a formidable wall of mathematics. The approach in An Introduction to the Bootstrap avoids that wall. It arms scientists and engineers, as well as statisticians, with the computational techniques they need to analyze and understand complicated data sets.
