Monte Carlo Simulation Procedure
Step 1: Bootstrap the CHIS dataset with selection probabilities proportional to the sampling weights.
Step 2: Perform the T-IR estimation procedure, simulating a value of Nˆi1(I) from (18) for each Xi, subsequently obtaining estimates γˆ0,γˆ.
Step 3: Using γˆ0,γˆ obtained in Step 2, perform the T-CFR estimation procedure, simulating a value of Nˆi1(M) from (19) for all Xi, subsequently obtaining estimates δˆ0,δˆ.
Step 4: Repeat Steps 1–3 to obtain a total of B estimates of γ0,γ and δ0,δ, which we denote γˆ0(b),γˆ(b):b=1,,B and δˆ0(b),δˆ(b):b=1,,B, respectively.
Step 5: For each set of bootstrap coefficient estimates γ0(b),γ(b),δ0(b),δ(b), b=1,,B, estimate the T-IR and T-CFR for covariate setting z using Eqs. (8), (17), respectively.
