Gaussian multiplier bootstrap: exact law for fixed data
The Gaussian multiplier (wild) bootstrap does not resample. It keeps the observed data
x₁, …, xₙ fixed, multiplies the recentred values xᵢ − x̄ by independent standard
Gaussian weights ξᵢ, and uses the law of n^{-1/2} Σᵢ (xᵢ − x̄) ξᵢ over the weights as
the bootstrap distribution.
multiplierBootstrap_law computes that distribution exactly: for every fixed data vector
it is the centred Gaussian with variance equal to the sample variance
n⁻¹ Σᵢ (xᵢ − x̄)². This file does not prove bootstrap consistency, i.e. that this law
approximates the sampling law of √n (x̄ − E X); the data here are a deterministic
vector, not a random sample.
Exact law of the √n-scaled multiplier-bootstrap mean. Fix a sample size n, data x : Fin n → ℝ, and a multiplier family ξ. If ξ is independent across coordinates, each ξ i is measurable, and each ξ i has the standard Gaussian law, then the scaled multiplier-bootstrap statistic has exactly the centered Gaussian law with variance equal to the sample variance .
