Abstract

We consider the problem of Gaussian multiplier bootstrap procedures for the kkth largest statistics and functions of the top kk order statistics, which are commonly encountered in high-dimensional statistical inference. Such a problem has been studied previously for k=1k=1 (i.e., maxima). However, in many applications, a general kk (k1k\geq 1) is of great interest. We provide the upper bounds for the errors between Gaussian approximations and Gaussian multiplier approximations. The dimension pp is allowed to be larger than the sample size nn. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated via the computer numerical results and a real-world data analysis.
