If normality assumption does not hold for the multivariate data, then what is an alternative way to obtain the standard error and confidence interval? Efron (1979) invented the bootstrap technique, which provides the solutions that enable statistical inference related to complex statistical functionals. In Chapter 1, Introduction to Ensemble Techniques, the permutation test, which repeatedly draws samples of the given sample and carries out the test for each of the resamples, was introduced. In theory, the permutation test requires number of resamples, where m ...
