Abstract: The bootstrap is a popular tool in modern statistics; however, it relies on sub-optimal IID Monte Carlo for approximating the resampling distribution. In this presentation, I will show that perhaps surprisingly, a simple MCMC algorithm can outperform IID sampling in this context. We aim to keep the same valuable features in the original method while hoping to improve sampling efficiency.
