Wild Bootstrap Size Diagnostics

v1.0.1 · May 15, 2026 · GPL-2

Description

Implements the diagnostic "theta" developed in Poetscher and Preinerstorfer (2020) "How Reliable are Bootstrap-based Heteroskedasticity Robust Tests?" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2005.04089>, which appeared as <doi:10.1017/S0266466622000184> in Econometric Theory , Volume 39 , Issue 4 , August 2023 , pp. 789 - 847. The diagnostic "theta" can be used to detect and weed out bootstrap-based procedures that provably have size equal to one for a given testing problem. The implementation covers a large variety of bootstrap-based procedures, cf. the above mentioned article for details. A function for computing bootstrap p-values is provided.
