In psycholinguistics , bootstrapping refers to the question of how language acquisition gets started. A child gradually acquires a great deal of interlocking knowledge about the structure and vocabulary of his or her language. It has sometimes been proposed that some specific type of linguistic knowledge can be acquired early, and that this enables the child to analyze words or sentences well enough to acquire further knowledge from them. Metaphorically, this early knowledge would serve as bootstrapping bootstraps by which the child pulls himself or herself up. Syntactic bootstrapping proposes that syntax comes that Language acquisition children use syntactic knowledge they have developed to help learn what words mean. That is, semantics builds on top of syntax. This idea was first tested experimentally by Lila Gleitman 1991 .

Otheruses Bootstrapping Refimprove date July 2007 The bootstrapping rule in the rules of evidence dealt with admissibility as non hearsay of statements of conspiracy in United States federal courts . The rule was, in a criminal prosecution for conspiracy crime conspiracy , the court, in deciding whether to allow the jury to consider a statement of conspiracy, cannot hear the statement itself, and that the allegation should be supported by independent evidence. If the independent evidence convinced the court that a conspiracy probably existed, only then could such a statement be introduced into trial and heard by the jury. Allowing such statements of conspiracy to prove the existence of conspiracy was considered similar to bootstrapping. In the United States, the bootstrapping rule has been eliminated from the Federal Rules of Evidence , as decided by the Supreme Court of the United States Supreme Court in the Bourjaily case. ref Bourjaily v. United States , 483 U.S. 171 1987 . ref For example, say a man commits four crimes. Unless the evidence is connectable to each crime, each piece of evidence can be used only in each separate crime and not to link each crime to the other.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 The idea of bootstrapping is significant in a number of fields in the biology biological sciences . The process by which a fertilised ovum develops into an embryo , particularly the way in which the nuclear genome is expressed differently in its various cells as these differentiate, is one example of bootstrapping. The evolution of progressively better adapted Organ anatomy organs through natural selection in a lineage of organism s is another. Some biologists, including Graham Cairns Smith , believe that the origin of life itself may have been a bootstrap process as one or more systems of biological information storage formed the foundation for successor systems that ultimately supplanted them culminating in the emergence of our current DNA based system.

Refimprove date December 2009 Merge to Bootstrapping linguistics date March 2009 Semantic bootstrapping in linguistics refers to the hypothesis that children utilize innately known conceptual knowledge to create grammatical category grammatical categories when language acquisition acquiring their first language . Thus, for example, categories like type of object person maps directly onto the linguistic category noun , category like action onto verb , etc. This will get children started on their way to acquiring part of speech parts of speech , which later can be supplemented by other linguistic information. The hypothesis received some support from the experiments that showed that three to five year olds do, in fact, generally use nouns for things and verbs for actions more often than adults do. However, it has also been proposed that children may learn word meaning by attending to the distributional patterns of words in their language see the distributional hypothesis , which does not require the category word relation to be innately available. Other theories such as cognitive linguistics also hold that the semantic mappings lead to syntactic discovery, but claims that these are also learned, and that the grammar also has semantics ref cite book author Ronald W.

references needed date March 2010 In computing, bootstrapping from an old expression wikt pull oneself up by one s bootstraps to pull oneself up by one s bootstraps is a technique by which a simple computer program activates a more complicated system of programs. In the start up process of a computer system , a small program such as BIOS initializes and tests that a basic requirement of computer hardware hardware , peripherals and external memory devices are connected. It then loads a program from one of them and passes control to it, thus allowing the loading of larger programs such as an operating system . A different use of the term bootstrapping is to use a compiler to compile itself, by first writing a small part of a compiler of a new programming language in an existing language to compile more programs of the new compiler written in the new language. This solves the chicken and egg causality dilemma.

Context date October 2009 Bootstrapping is a method for constructing a Zero coupon bond zero coupon fixed income yield curve from the prices of a set of coupon bearing products by forward substitution . Using these zero coupon products it becomes possible to derive par swap rates forward and spot for all maturities by making a few assumptions including linear interpolation . The term structure of spot returns is recovered from the bond yields by solving for them recursively, this iterative process is called the Bootstrap Method . Given that, in general, we lack data points in a yield curve there are only a fixed number of products in the market and more importantly these have varying coupon frequencies, it makes sense to construct a curve of zero coupon instruments from which we can price any yield, whether forward or spot, without the need of more external information. A generic algorithm is described below for more detail see Yield curve Construction of the full yield curve from market data Yield curve Construction of the full yield curve from market data . blockquote style background 1 border 1px solid black padding 1em General Methodology Define set of yielding products, these will generally be coupon bearing bonds Derive discount factors for all terms, these are the internal rates of return of the bonds Bootstrap the zero coupon curve step by step. For each stage of the iterative process, we are interested in deriving the n year zero coupon bond yield, also known as the internal rate of return of the bond. As there are no intermediate payments on this bond, all the interest and principal is realised at the end of n years it is sometimes called the n year spot rate.

In machine learning, bootstrapping is a general technique that iteratively trains and evaluates a classifier in order to improve its performance. In object detection, it is often used in conjunction with the AdaBoost algorithm for efficient processing of large databases. ref P. Viola and M. Jones. Rapid object detection using a boosted cascade of simple features . CVPR, 2001. ref Refer to Bootstrap aggregating . Bootstrap Error Estimation Given a data set technically, a Multiset of size math n math , a new set can be formed by sampling the original data set math n math times, with replacement. With replacement means the item can be selected again later. The new data set, which will most likely contain duplicates, is used for training a classifier. The items in the original data set that are not in the new data set are then used for testing. Note that the probability of being selected for the new training set is approximately 0.632, and thus the probability of not being chosen is 0.368. This will result in the new training set containing approximately 63.2 of the original data set, while the test set will contain 36.8 percent of the original data set. The error is then estimated by math text err 0.632 times text err text test 0.368 times text err text training math . The bootstrapping procedure is then repeated a number of times. The final error estimate is the average of all iterations.

Image BSF.png thumb right BSF Positioning A Bootstrapping Server Function BSF is an intermediary element in Cellular network s which provides application independent functions for mutual authentication of user equipment and servers unknown to each other and for bootstrapping the exchange of secret session keys afterwards. This allows the use of additional services like Mobile TV and Public Key Infrastructure PKI , which need authentication and secured communication. GBA GAA Setup The setup and function to deploy a generic security relation as described is called Generic Bootstrapping Architecture Generic Bootstrapping Architecture GBA or Generic Authentication Architecture GAA . In short, it consists of the following elements. user equipment UE , e. g. a mobile cellular telephone needs access to a specific service application server NAF Network Application Function , e. g. for mobile TV provides the service BSF Bootstrapping Server Function arranges security relation between UE and NAF mobile network operator s Home Subscriber Server HSS hosts user profiles. In this case, the term bootstrapping is related to building a security relation with a previously unknown device first and to allow installing security elements keys in the device and the BSF afterwards. Workflow The BSF is introduced by the application server NAF , after an unknown UE device is trying to get service access the NAF refers the UE to the BSF.

Introduction In mobile phones, Generic Bootstrapping Architecture GBA is one technology enabling the authentication of a user. This authentication is possible if the user owns a valid identity on an HLR GSM core network Home location register .28HLR.29 Home Location Register or a Home Subscriber Server GBA is standardized at the 3GPP http www.3gpp.org ftp Specs html info 33220.htm . The user authentication is instantiated by a shared secret, one in the smartcard inside the mobile phone and the other is on the HLR HSS. GBA authenticates by making a network component challenge the simcard card and verify that the answer is similar by the one predicted by the HLR HSS. Instead of asking the service provider to trust the Bootstrapping Server Function BSF and relying on it for every authentication request, the Bootstrapping Server Function BSF establishes a shared secret between the simcard card and the service provider. This shared secret is limited in time and for a specific domain. Image GBA.JPG Strong points This solution has some strong points of certificate and shared secrets without having some of their weaknesses There is no need for user enrollment phase nor secure deployment of keys, making this solution a very low cost one when compared to PKI. Another advantage is the ease with which the authentication method may be integrated into terminals and service providers, as it is based on HTTP s well known Digest access authentication . Every Web server already implement HTTP digest authentication and the effort to implement GBA on top of digest authentication is minimal. For example it could be implemented on SimpleSAMLPhP http rnd.feide.no simplesamlphp with 500 PHP lines of code and only a few tens of lines of code are Service Provider specific making it really easy to port ... bootstrapping .

Once all missing values have been imputed, the dataset can then be analysed using standard techniques for complete data. The analysis should ideally take into account that there is a greater degree of uncertainty than if the imputed values had actually been observed, however, and this generally requires some modification of the standard complete data analysis methods. Many imputation techniques are available. A once common method of imputation was hot deck imputation where a missing value was imputed from a randomly selected similar record. The term hot deck dates back to the storage of data on punched card s, and indicates that the information donors come from the same dataset as the recipients. The stack of cards was hot because it was currently being processed. Cold deck imputation, by contrast, selects donors from another dataset. Since computer power has advanced rapidly and punched cards are no longer used, more sophisticated methods of imputation have generally superseded the original random and sorted hot deck imputation techniques, such as nearest neighbour hot deck imputation and the approximate Bayesian bootstrap. Since standard analysis techniques do not reflect the additional uncertainty due to imputing for missing data, further ...

In statistics , a mediation model is one that seeks to identify and explicate the mechanism that underlies an observed relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable via the inclusion of a third explanatory variable, known as a mediator variable. Rather than hypothesizing a direct causal relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable, a mediational model hypothesizes that the independent variable causes the mediator variable, which in turn causes the dependent variable. The mediator variable, then, serves to clarify the nature of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables MacKinnon, 2008 .
