Abstract

Bootstrap Tests are for which the significance level is calculated by some sort of bootstrap procedure, which may be parametric on non-parametric. We show that, in many circumstances, the size distortion of a bootstrap P value for a test will be one whole order of magnitude smaller that of corresponding asymptotic P Value.
