ℹ️ Method

Percentile bootstrap: compute ΞΈΜ‚* for each of B resamples; the Ξ±/2 and 1βˆ’Ξ±/2 quantiles of {ΞΈΜ‚*} form the CI.

Why it works: the bootstrap distribution of (ΞΈΜ‚* βˆ’ ΞΈΜ‚) mimics the true distribution of (ΞΈΜ‚ βˆ’ ΞΈ). Works for virtually any statistic β€” mean, median, correlation, regression coefficients.
