Research

Hesterberg has contributed to statistical research by writing a textbook, articles, and a software package:

A 2011 undergraduate student textbook titled Mathematical Statistics with Resampling and R.^[2]
A 2015 article titled "What Teachers Should Know About the Bootstrap: Resampling in the Undergraduate Statistics Curriculum".^[3]
A 2015 R (programming language) software package titled 'resample: Resampling Functions'.^[4] It performs bootstraps, permutation tests, and other sampling refunctions, and is intended to be easy to use.^[4]
Scientific articles including "Bootstrap",^[5] "Least-Angle Regression and LASSO for Large Datasets",^[6] and "Least Angle and L1 Penalized Regression: A Review".^[7]
