in better estimates particularly when the distribution of the variance itself may be non normal.

The jackknife, like the original bootstrap, is dependent on the independence of the data. Extensions of the jackknife to allow for dependence in the data have been proposed. One such extension is the delete-a-group method used in association with Poisson sampling.

Comparison of bootstrap and jackknife

Both methods, the bootstrap and the jackknife, estimate the variability of a statistic
