bootstrap methods. Specifically, since standard wild bootstrap procedures deliver inconsistent inference, we propose a local … Gaussian (LG) bootstrap, establish its first‐order asymptotic validity, and use Edgeworth expansions to show that the LG … bootstrap inference achieves second‐order asymptotic refinements. Moreover, we provide new Laplace transform‐based estimators of …

functionals of kernel-type estimators (1 < p < ∞) and is easy to implement in general, mainly due to its recourse to the bootstrap … method. 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 …

We use a subsample bootstrap method to get a consistent estimate of the asymptotically optimal choice of the …
