Bias-Corrected and Accelerated Bootstrap Method new indices

57 Views Asked by At

In the BCa Bootstrap Method for Confidence Intervals, we have those two indices (instead of the 2.5 and 97.5 ones whose choice is the one in the Percentile Method): $$ k_1 = \Phi \left( \hat{z}_0 + \frac{\hat{z}_0 - z_{0.025}}{1 - \hat{a}(\hat{z}_0 - z_{0.025})} \right) \times B $$ and $$ k_2 = \Phi \left( \hat{z}_0 + \frac{\hat{z}_0 - z_{0.975}}{1 - \hat{a}(\hat{z}_0 - z_{0.975})} \right) \times B $$ where $z_{0.025}$ can be found in any complementary cumulative $Z$ table.

But what if those indices aren't integers? Does that happen? I couldn't find any reference on this.

Should I just round those?
