A Note on the Prediction-Powered Bootstrap
We introduce PPBoot: a bootstrap-based method for prediction-powered inference. PPBoot is applicable to arbitrary estimation problems and is very simple to implement, essentially only requiring one application of the bootstrap. Through a series of examples, we demonstrate that PPBoot often performs nearly identically to (and sometimes better than) the earlier PPI(++) method based on asymptotic normality$\unicode{x2013}$when the latter is applicable$\unicode{x2013}$without requiring any asymptotic characterizations. Given its versatility, PPBoot could simplify and expand the scope of application of prediction-powered inference to problems where central limit theorems are hard to prove.

A consistency lemma in statistical phylogenetics
This short note provides a simple formal proof of a folklore result in statistical phylogenetics concerning the convergence of bootstrap support for a tree and its edges.
LEMMAEstimating the Algorithmic Variance of Randomized Ensembles via the Bootstrap
Although the methods of bagging and random forests are some of the most widely used prediction methods, relatively little is known about their algorithmic convergence. In particular, there are not many theoretical guaran…
A Note on Small Percolating Sets on Hypercubes via Generative AI
We apply a generative AI pattern-recognition technique called PatternBoost to study bootstrap percolation on hypercubes. With this, we slightly improve the best existing upper bound for the size of percolating subsets of…
Prediction-Powered Inference with Imputed Covariates and Nonuniform Sampling
Machine learning models are increasingly used to produce predictions that serve as input data in subsequent statistical analyses. For example, computer vision predictions of economic and environmental indicators based on…
