Abstract
The bootstrap is a powerful computational tool for statistical inference that allows for the estimation of the distribution of an estimate without distributional assumptions on the underlying data, reliance on asymptotic results or theoretical derivations. On the other hand, robustness properties of the bootstrap in the presence of outliers are very poor, irrespective of the robustness of the underlying estimator. This motivates the need to robustify the bootstrap procedure itself. Improvements to two existing robust bootstrap methods are suggested and a novel approach for robustifying the bootstrap is introduced. The methods are compared in a simulation study and the proposed method is applied to robust geolocation.
