What is the difference between the empirical bootstrap and the parametric bootstrap?
What is the difference between the empirical bootstrap and the parametric bootstrap?
The empirical bootstrap makes no assumptions about the underlying distribution and draws bootstrap samples by resampling the data, while the parametric bootstrap generates the bootstrap sample from a parametrized distribution.
What are the elements of using the parametric bootstrap to estimate a confidence interval for a parameter?
What are the elements of using the parametric bootstrap to estimate a confidence interval for a parameter?
The elements include drawing data from a distribution with an unknown parameter, estimating the parameter, and drawing bootstrap samples from the estimated distribution.
