Bootstrap methods in linear regression

Linear regression constitutes one of the most important statistical methods for the simultaneous analysis of two or more variables, with the aim of predicting one of them based on the known value(s) of one or more related variables. The application of the linear regression requires the fulfilment of specific assumptions, such as normality, homoscedasticity, and independence of the error terms. In practice, these assumptions are frequently violated, which can lead to unreliable conclusions. Bootstrap methods provide robust non-parametric alternatives, as they allow for the estimation of standard errors and confidence intervals based solely on the observed data. The present thesis presents and compares various bootstrap approaches in linear regression, including the parametric bootstrap, the residual bootstrap, the paired bootstrap, and the wild bootstrap, through simulation studies and applications to real datasets.
