I am trying to estimate the significance of a few statistics using a
bootstrap analysis.
I have created a program in which I estimate for 2 different sub-samples
(respectively 6610 and 1114 observations) a regression with a treatment
effect (treatreg command) using the MLE and then compute the difference in
expected earnings between those who receive the treatement and those who
don't. Having done this for the 2 sub-samples I compute the difference
between the treatment earnings effect for subsample1 minus the treatment
earnings effect for subsample2.
Then I use the command bstrap to test for the significance of these 3
differentials.
My problem is the following: When I set 50 iterations (reps50), the program
is working. But when I set 200 iterations (which is the number of iterations
I need), an error message says "conformability error".
I guess the problem comes from the drawing of a particular sample which
prevents a certain matrix computation. But I just don't know how to solve
the problem.
Would someone have an idea of a solution?
Many thanks
