Abstract This paper employs a Monte Carlo study to compare the performance of equal-tailed bootstrap percentile- t … , symmetric bootstrap percentile- t , bootstrap percentile, and standard asymptotic confidence intervals in two distinct … heteroscedastic regression models. Bootstrap confidence intervals are constructed with both the XY and wild bootstrap algorithm …
