Hi,

Is there an easy way to get p-values from the bias corrected estimates
of a bootstrap?  I get the bias-corrected 95% confidence interval, but
it would be nice to get a p-value corresponding to whether the estimated
coefficient from my messy estimation procedure is <= 0.  Since the
distribution of the estimated coefficients is highly non-normal, looking
at the estimated standard errors isn't helpful.   I can save the
estimated betas and add the bias, but I believe that the bias corrected
estimate is better than what you get if you just look at the percentage
of non-positive estimated coefficients.

Thanks in advance,

John
