Solutions to bootstrap failures are presented, such as finite populations and extreme values.
Historical notes at the end of each chapter, as well as extensive illustrations, charts and tables and showcased throughout the book.
Great care is given to craft smooth transitions amongst chapters and between sections.
Examples and explanations of when and why the bootstrap is not effective are presented for learning and comparative purposes.
Discussions of applications to a wide variety of confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and estimation problems (including pharmaceutical, genomics, and economics) are given, oftentimes at the expense of detailed explanations and/or needless theoretical justification.
R subroutines are illustrated throughout the presentation and redeployed on an author-maintained web site, along with helpful hints to more than 300 exercises in the book.
