Hello,
I was hoping to do a joint hypothesis test using the bootstrap (similar to
doing a bootstrapped t-test). However, it appears that Stata does not have
any "_variables" (system variables) with which to capture the relevant
covariances for each replication, and thus calculate the joint test
statistic for each replication. This is eminently feasible for a t-test
(if it weren't already available), using something like:
bootstrap tstat = _b[X1]/_se[X1]: regress Y X1
Does anyone know if it is possible/how to generate a bootstrap sample of
joint test statistics (which use covariances), which could then be used to
calculate critical values (e.g., 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles)?
I've tried using e(V) to get to the covariances in each replication, but
Stata doesn't appear to like referencing matrices when it's doing the
bootstrap. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Best,
John
