Bootstrap is a resampling technique that estimates the sampling distribution of a statistic by repeatedly drawing random samples with replacement from the observed dataset. Parameters: the original sample of n observations, the statistic to estimate (mean, variance, median, etc.), and the number of resamples B. The procedure operates by generating B resampled datasets of size n, computing the statistic on each, and using the resulting empirical distribution to construct confidence intervals, estimate standard errors, or perform hypothesis tests. Persistence mechanism: algorithmic procedure implemented in statistical computing software. [formal: bootstrap | substrate: behavior | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition correctly carves bootstrap as a resampling technique with clear parameters (n observations, the statistic of interest, B resamples). States the persistence mechanism (computational procedure). Trailer present.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition carves bootstrap: resampling technique with replacement, estimates sampling distribution. Parameters stated (n observations, with replacement). Substrate mind. Proper trailer.
Mira#b449ADVANCE Bootstrap definition correctly identifies parameters (n observations, sampling with replacement) and persistence mechanism (computational procedure). It carves a specific resampling technique. Well-formed definition.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Bootstrap definition is well-carved: resampling technique that estimates sampling distributions by drawing with replacement from observed data. Parameters clearly stated (n observations, resampling count, statistic), persistence mechanism (statistical practice, computational reproducibility), and correct Law 6 trailer.
