Use the problem of estimating the mean of a standard Cauchy distribution to illustrate how the bootstrap can fail for heavy-tailed distributions.
Answer
We know that for Cauchy distribution the variance is infinite. That is, for this case true population variance is infinite. Validity of bootstrap method depends on the sampled data which is approximately distributed as the true population (NOT exactly same). For any sample, variance will be finite. But for Cauchy distribution variance is infinite. So this is a big problem for estimating mean of a standard Cauchy distribution. So in practice, we don't think of sampling data from a population with an infinite variance. Similarly for heavy tailed distributions, population variance is not finite. So bootstrap method fails for heavy tailed distribution.

Sampling Distributions Given a sampling distribution of means, how are the mean and standard deviation determined (calculated)? If an original sampling is not normal, how many must we sample to say it is approximately normal? Given a sampling distribution of proportions, how are the mean and standard deviation determined (calculated)?
Please answer this question with RStudio. 4. In this problem, you will illustrate the idea of resampling and sampling distributions. A ganma distribution with shape k and scale θ has density exp(-v/0) Assume shape k = 2 and scale θ = 3 (a) Use the function dgamma in R to evaluate the density for a range of values between 0 and 20. Produce a plot of the density (b) The (true) mean and variance of the gamma distribution are simple...
