Title: Estimation and Accuracy After Model Selection
Author(s): Bradley Efron*+
Companies: Stanford University
Keywords: bootstrap smoothing ; bagging ; abc method
Abstract:

In a typical statistical analysis, a first look at the data suggests a reasonable model (eg "cubic regression"), after which estimates and standard errors are calculated ignoring model selection. I will discuss bootstrap methods that take model selection into account. Here the bootstrap is used as a smoothing device, as in "bagging", in addition to its role as an accuracy estimator.
