摘要
We show that the M << N (N is the original data sample size, M denotes the size of the bootstrap resample; M/N -> 0, as M -> infinity) bootstrap approximation of the distribution of the trimmed mean is consistent without any conditions upon the population distribution F, whereas Efron's naive (i.e., M = N) bootstrap, as well as the normal approximation, fails to be consistent if the population distribution F has gaps at those two quantiles where the trimming occurs.
