The objective of this paper is to present a modified -out-of- bootstrap method () and compare its performance with the existing m-out-of-n bootstrap method (o). The nature of the upper tail of a distribution is the major reason for the poor performance of classical bootstrap methods even in large samples. The ā€˜ā€™ bootstrap method was therefore, proposed as an alternative method to ā€˜ā€™ bootstrap method. The distribution involved has finite variance. The simulated data sets used was drawn from Singh-Maddala distribution. The methodology involved decomposing the empirical distribution and sampling only nāƒ› times with replacement from a sample size n, such that nāƒ› ā†’āˆž as nā†’āˆž, and nāƒ›/n →0. The performances are judged using standard error; absolute bias; coefficient of variation and root mean square error. The findings showed that ā€˜ā€™ performed better than in moderate and larger samples and it converged fasterĀ
