The jackknife-a review

SUMMARY Research on the jackknife technique since its introduction by Quenouille and Tukey is reviewed. Both its role in bias reduction and in robust interval estimation are treated. Some speculations and suggestions about future research are made. The bibliography attempts to include all published work on jackknife methodology.
