... curves, the contaminant isnot a single point, but an entire curve. For convenience,we choose the following contaminant,where δ ∈ ޒ and δmin ≤ δ ≤ δmax. In other words, the con-taminant ... the mean curve, the sensitivity is negative, meaning that the width of the estimated bands are smaller than those for the uncontaminated data. Indeed, the actual value of the bootstrap constant ... constant initially decreases, likely to counter the accompanying sharp increase in the standard deviationbands. In other words, as the standard deviation bandswiden, a smaller bootstrap constant...
