The bootstrap is a method for estimating the distribution of an estimator or test statistic by resampling one's data or a model estimated from the data. Under conditions that hold in a wide variety of econometric applications, the bootstrap provides approximations to distributions of statistics,...

For nonparametric autoregression, we investigate a model based bootstrap procedure ("autoregressive bootstrap") that mimics the complete dependence structure of the original time series. We give consistency results for uniform bootstrap confidence bands of the autoregression function based on...

Kernel smoothing in nonparametric autoregressive schemes offers a powerful tool in modelling time series. In this paper it is shown that the bootstrap can be used for estimating the distribution of kernel smoothers. This can be done by mimicking the stochastic nature of the whole process in the...
