What is it about?

Monte Carlo evaluation of resampling-based tests is often conducted in statistical analysis. However, this procedure is generally computationally intensive. In this article, we propose a novel Monte Carlo evaluation procedure. Theorems as well as simulations show that the proposed method can give smaller or comparable root mean squared errors and bias with much less computing time.

Why is it important?

The proposed Monte Carlo evaluation procedure has much less computing time with smaller root mean squared errors, thus can be strongly recommended especially for evaluating highly computationally intensive hypothesis testing procedures in genetic epidemiology.

Perspectives

The proposed Monte Carlo evaluation procedure is efficient in estimating the type I error rates and powers of resampling-based tests in terms of computing time and root mean squared errors, which could be widely used in resampling-based hypothesis tests.
