A note on parametric bootstrap model selection

Sin-Ho Jung, Kee-Won Lee, Ja-Yong Koo

Abstract: We develop parametric bootstrap model selection criteria in an example to fit a random sample to either a general normal distribution or a normal distribution with prespecified mean. We apply the bootstrap methods in two ways; one considers direct substitution of the estimated parameter for the unknown parameter, and the other focuses on bias correction. These bootstrap model selection criteria are compared with AIC. We illustrate that all the selection rules reduce to the one sample t-test, where the cutoff points converge as the sample size increases.
