Bias Corrected Bootstrap #34

Closed iancero closed 9 years ago

iancero commented 9 years ago

Is there any way to get bias corrected bootstrap estimates for model parameters? At least for tests of indirect effects, I think these are supposed to be superior to naive bootstrap approaches. Are there plans to include different bootstrap methods (especially bias corrected and accelerated) in future releases?

See the 'boot.ci.type' argument of the parameterEstimates() function; one of the options is 'bca.simple', which corrects for bias, but not for acceleration. This was mainly to mimic Mplus. I have currently no plans to add more options, but patches are welcome.

Thank you so much! I'll try that right away!
