Using Subsample Values as Typical Values

Abstract The subsample values of a statistic t are the values of t for subsets of the whole sample. Subsample values may be used as indicators of variability of t. For real valued statistics t, estimating a parameter θ, the subsample values are defined to form a set of typical values if the intervals between the ordered subsample values each include θ with equal probability. The typical value property holds exactly in some cases and approximately in others.
