Abstract

The threshold bootstrap (TB) is a promising new method of inference for a single autocorrelatcd data series, such as the output of a discrete event simulation. The method works by resampling runs of data created when the series crosses a threshold level, such as the series mean. We performed a Monte Carlo evaluation of the TB using three types of data: white noise, first-order autoregressive, and delays in an M/M/1 queue. The results show that the TB produces accurate and tight estimates of the standard deviation of the sample mean and valid confidence intervals.
