Bootstrapping is often applied to get confidence limits for semiparametric inference of a target parameter in the presence of nuisance parameters. Bootstrapping with replacement can be computationally expensive and problematic when…

Natural behavior consists of dynamics that are both unpredictable, can switch suddenly, and unfold over many different timescales. While some success has been found in building representations of behavior under constrained or simplified…
