Bootstrapping in R

Bootstrapping is a powerful resampling technique that is used to estimate the distribution of a statistic (like the mean or variance) by resampling with replacement from the data. It provides a way to quantify the uncertainty of various statistics of the data.

Let's walk through a basic bootstrapping tutorial in R:

1. Bootstrapping the Mean

Suppose you have a small dataset and you want to estimate the uncertainty (confidence interval) of the mean.

# Sample data
data <- c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

# Number of bootstrap samples
n_bootstrap <- 1000

# Store bootstrap means here
bootstrap_means <- numeric(n_bootstrap)

# Bootstrapping
set.seed(123)  # For reproducibility
for(i in 1:n_bootstrap) {
  sample_data <- sample(data, replace = TRUE, size = length(data))
  bootstrap_means[i] <- mean(sample_data)
}

# Getting the 95% confidence interval
quantile(bootstrap_means, c(0.025, 0.975))

2. Bootstrapping Regression Models

Suppose you have a simple linear regression and you want to bootstrap the coefficients to get their confidence intervals.

# Sample data
set.seed(123)
x <- rnorm(100)
y <- 3*x + rnorm(100)

# Bootstrapping
n_bootstrap <- 1000
coefficients <- matrix(0, n_bootstrap, 2)  # 2 for intercept and slope

for(i in 1:n_bootstrap) {
  idx <- sample(1:length(y), replace = TRUE)
  bootstrap_sample <- lm(y[idx] ~ x[idx])
  coefficients[i,] <- coef(bootstrap_sample)
}

# 95% CI for Intercept and Slope
apply(coefficients, 2, quantile, c(0.025, 0.975))

3. Using the boot Package

For more complex bootstrapping tasks, the boot package can be very helpful.

install.packages("boot")
library(boot)

# Bootstrapping mean using boot package
statistic_function <- function(data, indices) {
  return(mean(data[indices]))
}

boot_obj <- boot(data = data, statistic = statistic_function, R = 1000)
boot_obj

# For confidence intervals
boot.ci(boot_obj, type = "perc")  # Percentile method

This package can handle many complex bootstrapping tasks, making the procedure easier and more efficient.

4. Visualizing Bootstrap Distributions

Using the hist() function, you can visualize the distribution of bootstrap statistics.

hist(bootstrap_means, main = "Bootstrap Distribution of Mean", xlab = "Mean", col = "lightblue", border = "black")

This visual representation helps understand the variability of the statistic and the shape of its distribution.

Bootstrapping is a versatile and powerful technique, especially when the sample size is small, or when the theoretical distribution of a statistic is complex or unknown. However, remember that bootstrapping provides an empirical distribution and relies heavily on the assumption that the sample represents the population well.

  1. Bootstrapping in R Example:

    # Generate a sample data
set.seed(123)
data <- rnorm(100)

# Perform bootstrapping
bootstrapped_means <- replicate(1000, mean(sample(data, replace = TRUE)))

  2. How to Perform Bootstrap Resampling in R:

    # Bootstrap resampling
set.seed(123)
bootstrapped_sample <- sample(data, replace = TRUE)

  3. Bootstrapped Confidence Intervals in R:

    # Calculate bootstrapped confidence intervals
boot_ci <- quantile(bootstrapped_means, c(0.025, 0.975))

  4. Bootstrap Sampling Techniques in R:

    • Simple Bootstrap:

      # Simple bootstrap
boot_sample <- sample(data, replace = TRUE)

    • Stratified Bootstrap:

      # Stratified bootstrap for categorical data
library(boot)
strata <- rep(1:2, each = 50)
strat_boot <- stratified(data, strata, boot.fun = mean, R = 1000)

  5. Bootstrapping for Hypothesis Testing in R:

    # Bootstrap for hypothesis testing
observed_diff <- mean(data[data$group == "A"]) - mean(data[data$group == "B"])
bootstrap_diff <- replicate(1000, {
  group_A <- sample(data[data$group == "A"], replace = TRUE)
  group_B <- sample(data[data$group == "B"], replace = TRUE)
  mean(group_A) - mean(group_B)
})

p_value <- mean(abs(bootstrap_diff) >= abs(observed_diff))

  6. Resampling Methods and Bootstrapping in R:

    • Jackknife Resampling:
      # Jackknife resampling
library(bootstrap)
jackknife_result <- jackknife(data, mean, stype = "i")

  7. Bootstrapping Regression Models in R:

    # Bootstrapping regression models
library(boot)
boot_model <- boot(data = my_data, statistic = function(data, indices) {
  sampled_data <- data[indices, ]
  lm_result <- lm(response ~ predictor, data = sampled_data)
  return(coef(lm_result))
}, R = 1000)

  8. Bootstrapping Time Series Data in R:

    # Bootstrapping time series data
library(boot)
boot_time_series <- tsboot(data, statistic = mean, R = 1000)

  9. Comparing Bootstrap Methods in R:

    • Percentile Bootstrap:

      # Percentile bootstrap
boot_percentile_ci <- quantile(bootstrapped_means, c(0.025, 0.975))

    • BCa (Bias-Corrected and Accelerated) Bootstrap:

      # BCa bootstrap
library(boot)
boot_bca_ci <- boot(data, mean, R = 1000, conf = 0.95, type = "bca")

  10. Bootstrapping vs Monte Carlo Simulation in R:

    • Bootstrapping:

      # Bootstrapping example
set.seed(123)
data <- rnorm(100)
bootstrapped_means <- replicate(1000, mean(sample(data, replace = TRUE)))

    • Monte Carlo Simulation:

      # Monte Carlo simulation example
set.seed(123)
sim_data <- rnorm(1000)
simulated_means <- replicate(1000, mean(sample(sim_data, replace = TRUE)))
