Nonparametric bootstrap
This is the most common bootstrap method

Parametric bootstrap
- Parametric bootstraps resample a known distribution function, whose parameters are estimated from your sample
- In small samples, a parametric bootstrap approach might be preferred according to the wikipedia

Examples
Standard error
- Standard error from a mean
foo <- function() mean(sample(x, replace = TRUE)) set.seed(1234) x <- rnorm(300) set.seed(1) sd(replicate(10000, foo())) # [1] 0.05717679 sd(x)/sqrt(length(x)) # The se of mean is s/sqrt(n) # [1] 0.05798401 set.seed(1234) x <- rpois(300, 2) set.seed(1) sd(replicate(10000, foo())) # [1] 0.08038607 sd(x)/sqrt(length(x)) # The se of mean is s/sqrt(n) # [1] 0.08183151
- Difference of means from two samples (cf 8.3 The two-sample problem from the book "An introduction to Bootstrap" by Efron & Tibshirani)
# Define the two samples sample1 <- 1:10 sample2 <- 11:20 # Define the number of bootstrap replicates nboot <- 100000 # Initialize a vector to store the bootstrap estimates boot_estimates <- numeric(nboot) # Run the bootstrap set.seed(123) for (i in seq_len(nboot)) { # Resample the data with replacement resample1 <- sample(sample1, replace = TRUE) resample2 <- sample(sample2, replace = TRUE) # Compute the difference of means boot_estimates[i] <- mean(resample1) - mean(resample2) } # Compute the standard error of the bootstrap estimates se_boot <- sd(boot_estimates) # Print the result cat("Bootstrap SE estimate of difference of means:", se_boot, "\n") # 1.283541 sd1 <- sd(sample1) sd2 <- sd(sample2) # Calculate the sample sizes n1 <- length(sample1) n2 <- length(sample2) # Calculate the true standard error of the difference of means se_true <- sqrt((sd1^2/n1) + (sd2^2/n2)) # Print the result cat("True SE of difference of means:", se_true, "\n") \ # 1.354006
