The BLUPs Are Not “Best” When It Comes To Bootstrapping
Abstract
In the setting of mixed models, some researchers may construct a semiparametric bootstrap by sampling from the best linear unbiased predictor residuals. This paper demonstrates both mathematically and by simulation that such a bootstrap will consistently underestimate the variation in the data in finite samples.Suggested Citation
