✦ Synopsis

We consider a modiÿcation of the classical bootstrap procedure for censored observations by choosing a resample size m which is possibly di erent from the original sample size n. In the situation of quantile estimation we establish weak convergence of the bootstrap error process and show that modiÿed bootstrapping leads to improved consistency rates for the maximum error.
