Bootstrap Techniques for Measures of Center for
Three-Dimensional Rotational Data
Laura Gerdts
Bootstrapping is a nonparametric statistical technique that can be used to estimate the sampling distribution of a statistic of interest. This presentation focuses on implementation of
bootstrapping in a new setting, where the data of interest are 3-dimensional rotations. Two
measures of center, the mean rotation and spatial average, are considered, and bootstrap confidence regions for these measures are proposed. A simulation study in which the developed
bootstrap techniques are compared to existing parametric approaches will be discussed.
