Hi all, I have a basic question about using the
bootstrap command for a case that cannot be addressed
by the manual's coverage of bootstrap:
Suppose I have two separate regressions from two
different datasets, yielding the vectors b_1 and b_2,
respectively. The parameter of interest is b_star =
b_1k * b_2j, where k and j respectively refer to one
of the coefficients in each of the vectors.
I want to get the standard error of the estimator
b_star, which presumably can only be done by
bootstrapping. Expressing my question more generally:
How do I get inference statistics for parameters which
are functions of other parameters that were estimated
in different regressions?
Thanks!
