PY - 2022 TI - Bootstrapping m-generalized order statistics with variable rank JO - AIMS Mathematics SP - 13704 EP - 13732 VL - 7 IS - 8 AB - In this paper, several bootstrap properties of m-generalized order statistics ( m-GOSs) with variable rank (central and intermediate) are revealed. We study the inconsistency, weak consistency and strong consistency of bootstrapping central and intermediate m-GOSs when the normalizing constants are assumed to be known or estimated from the re-sampled data using a proper re-sample size. Furthermore, sufficient conditions for the weak and strong consistencies of the bootstrapping distributions of central and intermediate m-GOSs based on the normalizing constant estimators are given. Finally, a simulation study is conducted to determine the optimal bootstrap re-sample size corresponding to the best fitting of the bootstrapping distribution.
