Hi, I'm having trouble understanding how to construct a random number generator for a parametric bootstrap. My aim is to bootstrap a Likelihood Ratio statistic (under the null) for a linear model. The function at this point is given by boot.test.n01 <- function(data, indeces, maxit=20) { y1 <- fit1+se(e2)*rnorm(314) mod1 <- glm(y1 ~ X1-1, maxit=maxit) y2 <- fit2+se(e2)*rnorm(314) mod2 <- glm(y2~1, maxit=maxit) t <- 2*(logLik(mod1)-logLik(mod2)) t } boot.lrtest.n01 <- boot(data=M1, statistic=boot.test.n01, R=3999, maxit=100, sim="parametric", ran.gen=???, mle=???) fit1 & fit2 are vectors containing fitted values, the se() is the standard error of a residual vector, e2, which I'm using as an estimate of the variance. I'm not sure if I have constructed the function "boot.test.n01" correctly with respect to the bootstrap dependent variables y1 & y2. Furthermore I'm rather lost when it comes to how to construct the random number generator (as indicated by ???) and what to use as MLE's (as indicated by ???). I would really appriciate any help that I could get. Sincerely, /Anders [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
