N2  - One of the difficulties frequently encountered in statistical inference is the derivation of the exact or even the asymptotic form of the probability distribution function in terms of known quantities of some statisticof interestIn the middle of the last century an attention has been directed to a new inferential methodology , known as resampling , to which the bootstrap and the jackknife methods belongBoth methods were found to give solutions for the mentioned estimation problemsHowever , the success that the bootstrap witnessed and the relatively recent improvements in the jackknife technique have led us to questions concerning the accuracy of the jackknife and the extent to which it provides a good approximation to the bootstrap
