Half-sample estimation of sampling distributions

Statistics & Probability Letters, 1989, vol. 8, issue 2, 147-155

Abstract: A half-sample method is proposed for estimating the sampling distributions of point estimators. Finite sample properties of the half-sample estimators are obtained. Some extensions and the robustness of the method are also studied. Numerical results show that the half-sample estimator works well in general situations.
