Abstract: This book gives a broad and up-to-date coverage of bootstrap methods, with numerous applied examples, developed in a coherent way with the necessary theoretical basis. Applications include stratified data; finite populations; censored and missing data; linear, nonlinear, and smooth regression models; classification; time series and spatial problems. Special features of the book include: extensive discussion of significance tests and confidence intervals; material on various diagnostic methods; and methods for efficient computation, including improved Monte Carlo simulation. Each chapter includes both practical and theoretical exercises. Included with the book is a disk of purpose-written S-Plus programs for implementing the methods described in the text. Computer algorithms are clearly described, and computer code is included on a 3-inch, 1.4M disk for use with IBM computers and compatible machines. Users must have the S-Plus computer application.

Household catastrophic health expenditure: a multicountry analysis.
TL;DR: People, particularly in poor households, can be protected from catastrophic health expenditures by reducing a health system's reliance on out-of-pocket payments and providing more financial risk protection.

Statistics of extremes in hydrology
TL;DR: In this article, statistical downscaling of hydrologic extremes is considered, and future challenges such as the development of more rigorous statistical methodology for regional analysis of extremes, as well as the extension of Bayesian methods to more fully quantify uncertainty in extremal estimation are reviewed.

The importance of the normality assumption in large public health data sets.
TL;DR: This work discusses situations in which in other methods such as the Wilcoxon rank sum test and ordinal logistic regression have been recommended, and concludes that the t-test and linear regression often provide a convenient and practical alternative.

TL;DR: A unified approach for testing the association between rare variants and phenotypes in sequencing association studies is proposed and it is shown that the unified test corresponds to the optimal test in an extended family of SKAT tests, which is referred to as SKAT-O.
