问题如下:
A modeling team at a risk management consulting firm is debating whether it is appropriate to use the
bootstrap technique to analyze a particular sample of data. Which of the following represents a situation
where the bootstrap technique will be ineffective?
选项:
A.
The data follow an asymmetric distribution.
B.
The data are independent and identically distributed.
C.
The data contain outliers.
D.
The data are normally distributed.
解释:
中文解析:
C 是正确的。至少有两种情况会导致 bootstrap 无法正常工作:数据中是否存在异常值,以及数据是否相互依赖。
A 不正确。 bootstrap 的一个好处是它们没有分布要求——bootstrap 不关心数据来自什么分布。
B 不正确。恰恰相反,数据必须独立才能使引导程序有效。
D 不正确。对 A 的相同解释在这里适用。
C is correct. There are at least two situations where the bootstrap will not work well: if there are outliers in the data, and if the data are dependent on one another.
A is incorrect. One benefit of the bootstrap is the fact that they do not have distributional requirements – the bootstrap does not care what distribution the data come from.
B is incorrect. The very opposite is true, data must be independent in order for the bootstrap to be effective.
D is incorrect. The same explanation for A applies here.
什么是bootstrap 可以解释一下吗?
