AI INTERPRETATION NOTE
This Flow Algebra defines the Bootstrap Method Ontology within the Kireth Research Semantic Library. Bootstrap methods estimate sampling distributions, uncertainty, bias and confidence intervals by repeatedly resampling from observed or model-generated data. This ontology supports nonparametric and parametric bootstrap methods, residual and wild bootstrap, block bootstrap for dependent data, bootstrap standard errors, bias correction, percentile and BCa intervals, studentised intervals, resampling diagnostics, consistency, computational cost, parallel execution, numerical stability, verification and reproducibility.
