Instructions

1. Rename this document with your student ID (not the 10-digit number, your IU username, e.g. dajmcdon). Include your buddy in the author field if you are working together.
2. I have given you code to generate data and fit a linear model.
3. Follow the instructions to replicate the bootstrap from the text/lecture on this new data.
4. Answer the question at the end.

Generate data and fit models

## Note: this is the same data as in Lecture 8.
trueFunction <- function(x) sin(x) + 1/sqrt(x) + 3
set.seed(1234)
n = 100
x = 1:n/n*2*pi
wiggly = data.frame(x = x,
                 y = trueFunction(x) + rnorm(n, 0, .75))
library(ggplot2)
ggplot(wiggly, aes(x, y)) + geom_point() + xlim(0,2*pi) + ylim(0,max(wiggly$y)) +
  stat_function(fun=trueFunction, color='red')

resample <- function(x) {
    sample(x, replace = TRUE)
}
resample.data.frame <- function(data) {
    sample.rows <- resample(1:nrow(data))
    return(data[sample.rows, ])
}
rboot <- function(statistic, simulator, B) {
    tboots <- replicate(B, statistic(simulator()))
    if (is.null(dim(tboots))) {
        tboots <- array(tboots, dim = c(1, B))
    }
    return(tboots)
}
bootstrap <- function(tboots, summarizer, ...) {
    summaries <- apply(tboots, 1, summarizer, ...)
    return(t(summaries))
}
equitails <- function(x, alpha) {
    lower <- quantile(x, alpha/2)
    upper <- quantile(x, 1 - alpha/2)
    return(c(lower, upper))
}
bootstrap.ci <- function(statistic = NULL, simulator = NULL, tboots = NULL,
    B = if (!is.null(tboots)) {
        ncol(tboots)
    }, t.hat, level) {
    if (is.null(tboots)) {
        stopifnot(!is.null(statistic))
        stopifnot(!is.null(simulator))
        stopifnot(!is.null(B))
        tboots <- rboot(statistic, simulator, B)
    }
    alpha <- 1 - level
    intervals <- bootstrap(tboots, summarizer = equitails, alpha = alpha)
    upper <- t.hat + (t.hat - intervals[, 1])
    lower <- t.hat + (t.hat - intervals[, 2])
    CIs <- cbind(lower = lower, upper = upper)
    return(CIs)
}

Function 1

Write a function that estimates the linear model of $y$ on $x$ for any data set. Call your function wiggly.estimator.lm. It should return the slope and intercept. Run lm on the wiggly data (call the fitted model wiggly.mdl). Compare it's estimates to those of wiggly.estimator.lm.

wiggly.estimator.lm <- function(newdata) 
wiggly.mdl = 
coef(wiggly.mdl)
wiggly.estimator.lm(wiggly)

Function 2

Write a function that resamples the residuals. Call it wiggly.resids.resamp.

wiggly.resids.resamp <- function(){
}

Function 3

Write a function to resample the data frame.

new.wiggly.resamp <- function() {
}

Use your functions

Use both samplers to get model-based and nonparametric confidence intervals for your linear model.

mbb.wiggly = wiggly.resids.resamp(wiggly)
npb.wiggly = 
mbb.wiggly
npb.wiggly

Question to answer

Which bootstrap is more appropriate to use in this case? Why?
