... There are examples fin the literature for which as few as 10 replications have been profitably used (see, e.g., Diaconis and Efron, 1983~; this might be all one could hope to compute with today's models in their current computer environments, ignoring such possibilities as embedding a statistical match within the bootstrap process. When one is interested in variance estimation what amounts to roughly the same thing, 67 percent confidence intervals Tibshirani (1985)
