Comment from the Stata technical group
Bootstrapping: A Nonparametric Approach to Statistical Inference, by
C. Z. Mooney and R. D. Duval, provides one of the best introductions to the
bootstrap you are likely to encounter. Although it was written for social
science researchers, anyone familiar with classical statistical procedures
will also find this text useful. Included are discussions of bias and
variance estimates, confidence intervals, and statistical inference. The
authors also discuss results from Monte Carlo simulations, empirically
reassuring the reader that the bootstrap works as advertised.
