For those who are interesting, here is how bootstraping using the delta method is done in a simpler way:

use http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes/hsb2, clear

bootstrap b = ([read]_b[ses]*[write]_b[read]), reps(50) :sureg (read ses) (write read ses)

Regards,
John.

Awhile back, Maarten Buis very nicely posted the below syntax to bootstrap an indirect path.

Although the code works well, is there a simpler routine, akin to say doing:

bootstrap, reps (1000): nlcom  [z_read]z_ses*[z_write]z_read

I will have a large amount of indirect paths that I want to test simultaneously, so a simpler way to do this would be great.

Best,
J.

------------------ begin example ----------------------
use http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/notes/hsb2, clear
foreach var of varlist read ses write {
  sum `var' if !missing(read,ses,write)
  gen double z_`var' = (`var' - r(mean))/r(sd)
}

capture program drop indir
program define indir, rclass
  tempname b
  reg z_read z_ses
  scalar `b' = _b[z_ses]
  reg z_write z_read z_ses
  return scalar indir = _b[z_read]*`b'
end
indir
bootstrap indir=r(indir), reps(1000): indir
estat bootstrap, bc p norm

qui sureg (z_read z_ses) (z_write z_read z_ses)
nlcom  [z_read]z_ses*[z_write]z_read
*--------------- end example ---------------------------
