      Moderate deviations in subsampling distribution estimation 

      Bertail, Patrice; Gamst, A.; Politis, Dimitris Nicolas (2001)
      In Politis and Romano (1994) the subsampling methodology was put forth for approximating the sampling distribution (and the corresponding quantiles) of general statistics from i.i.d. and stationary data. In this note, we ...
