Asymptotic accuracy of the jackknife variance estimator for certain smooth statistics

Abstract

We show that that the jackknife variance estimator vjack and the the infinitesimal jackknife variance estimator are asymptotically equivalent if the functional of interest is a smooth function of the mean or a smooth trimmed L-statistic. We calculate the asymptotic variance of vjack for these functionals.
