Type I error rates for various confidence interval methods using bivariate normal data with a correlation of .3 e

Confidence Interval Method Type I error rate
Standard Confidence interval 4.5%
Univariate Bootstrap NDE k=1 4.4%
Standard Bootstrap NDE k=1 5.5%
Univariate Bootstrap NDE k=2* 18.5%
Standard Bootstrap NDE k=2* 19.2%
Univariate Bootstrap DE k=1* 17.8%
Standard Bootstrap DE k=1* 19.2%
Univariate Bootstrap DE k=.5 5.1%
Standard Bootstrap DE k=.5 5.7%
e

(N)DE: (Not) Double Entered; k: Bootstrap resample size is that multiple of input data size (e.g., if not double entered, and k =1, bootstrap resample size is n, if double entered 2n).

*

Significantly greater Type I error rate than expected p < .05.
