Abstract: Motivated by Efron (1992, Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series B 54, 83 111), this paper proposes a version of the moving block jackknife as a method of estimating standard errors of block-bootstrap estimators under dependence. As in the case of independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) observations, the proposed method merely regroups the values of a statistic from different bootstrap replicates to produce an estimate of its standard error. Consistency of the resulting jackknife standard error estimator is proved for block-bootstrap estimators of the bias and the variance of a large class of statistics. Consistency of Efron s method is also established in similar problems for i.i.d. data.
