We introduce a new, factor based bootstrap approach which is robust under heteroskedastic error terms for inference in … functional coefficient models. Modeling the functional coefficient parametrically, the bootstrap approximation of an F statistic …, factor based bootstrap inference outperforms the wild bootstrap and pairs bootstrap approach according to its size features …

coverage for small sample sizes, a simple bootstrap procedure is designed based on the leading term of the Bahadur … demonstrated that the bootstrap procedure considerably outperforms the asymptotic bands in terms of coverage accuracy. Finally, the … bootstrap confidence corridors are used to study the efficacy of the National Supported Work Demonstration, which is a …

functionals of kernel-type estimators (1 < p < ∞) and is easy to implement in general, mainly due to its recourse to the bootstrap … method. The bootstrap procedure is based on nonparametric bootstrap applied to kernel-based test statistics, with estimated … "contact sets". We provide regularity conditions under which the bootstrap test is asymptotically valid uniformly over a large …
