Abstract
Statistical resampling methods have become feasible for parametric estimation, hypothesis testing, and model validation now that the computer is a ubiquitous tool for statisticians. This essay focuses on the resampling technique for parametric estimation known as the Jackknife procedure. To outline the usefulness of the method and its place in the general class of statistical resampling techniques, I will quickly delineate two similar resampling methods: the bootstrap and the permutation test. I then outline the Jackknife method and show an example of its use.
