CRAN-Published R Package for Modern Resampling Methods

Overview

modernBoot is a CRAN-published R package providing modern, efficient, and computationally fast bootstrap resampling techniques for robust statistical inference.

Key Features

• Efficient computation: Uses vectorized R and optional parallel processing through the future and future.apply packages.
• Multiple CI Methods: Supports percentile, BCa (Bias-Corrected and Accelerated), and bootstrap-t confidence intervals.
• Hypothesis Testing: Includes functions for bootstrap-based hypothesis tests and p-value calculation.
• Advanced Sampling: Implements stratified and block bootstrap for complex data structures.
• Parallel Processing: Built-in support for multi-core processing to speed up computations on large datasets.

Quick Example

library(modernBoot)
Generate sample data
set.seed(123)
data <- rnorm(100, mean = 5, sd = 2)
Calculate Bias-Corrected and Accelerated (BCa) bootstrap CI
result_ci <- boot_ci(
              data,
              statistic = mean,
              R = 2000,
              ci = "bca"
             )
print(result_ci)
Perform a bootstrap hypothesis test
test_result <- boot_test(data, statistic = mean, null_value = 5.5, R = 2000)
print(test_result)
