These functions can be used to construct standard errors, confidence intervals and tests of hypotheses regarding quantile regression models. Applying the basic bootstrap method is really straightforward. In stata, you can use the bootstrap command or the. In a twostep test, standard errors need to adjusted to account for generated regressors which are estimated from some firststage reduced form.
Stata performs quantile regression and obtains the standard errors using the method suggested by koenker and bassett 1978, 1982. Bootstrapping resampling technique with replacement the population is to the sample as the sample is to the bootstrap samples allows estimation of the sampling.
