mboottest: Arbitrary Linear Hypothesis Testing for Regression Models via Wald-Tests

Description

mboottest is a S3 method that allows for arbitrary linear hypothesis testing for objects of class lm, fixest, felm

Usage

mboottest(object, ...)

Arguments

object

An object of type lm, fixest or felm

...

other arguments

Value

An object of class mboottest.

Setting Seeds

To guarantee reproducibility, you can either use boottest()'s seed function argument, or set a global random seed via

  • set.seed() when using

    1. the lean algorithm (via boot_algo = "R-lean"), 2) the heteroskedastic wild bootstrap

    2. the wild cluster bootstrap via boot_algo = "R" with Mammen weights or 4) boot_algo = "WildBootTests.jl"

  • dqrng::dqset.seed() when using boot_algo = "R" for Rademacher, Webb or Normal weights
