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 …

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 …
