Schrausser orcid.org/0000-0002-4924-8280 Karl-Franzens University, Graz, Austria Graphical user interface for Theta applications (Schrausser, 2009) within ConsoleApp_Distribution Functions (Schrausser, 2024), generating distributions and estimators for several parameters 𝜃 via bootstrap method, with given number of resamples 𝐵, where bootstrap estimator 𝜃 𝐵=𝐵−1 ⋅∑𝜃𝑖∗ 𝐵 𝑖=1 , introduced by Efron (1979, 1981, 1982) as a further development of the Jackknife method (Quenouille, 1949). See also Monte-Carlo Methode (Metropolis & Ulam, 1949) and permutation or randomization tests, first mentioned by Fisher (1935), based on his own account of experiments in agriculture (Fisher, 1926) and the work by Neyman (1923). In this context see further Pitman (1937a, b, 1938), Fisher (1966, 1971), Efron et al. (1992), Good (2006), Edgington and Onghena (2007), Beasley and Rodgers (2009), Oneto (2020) or Kauermann et al.
