Hello,

The jackknife is used as a bias reduction technique, and since linear regression estimates are unbiased I don't see why you should use it.

Thanks Bert for your suggestion that is working.

To answer to your question, I can say that some econometricians say that
using bootstrap techniques on a linear regression model when the sample
size N is small, one of the most interesting purpose is on the
prediction intervals which is better fitted.
For me, the bootstrap will give results that are at least as good as the
normal approximation.

When the sample size N is small, are bootstrap or jackknife better than
the standard methods for estimating the best fit parameters ?
What is your opinion about that question ?

Please note that this can (and should) be considerably sped up by
taking advantage of the fact that lm() will work on a matrix of
responses. Also, some improvement in speed can usually be obtained by
generating all samples at once rather than generating the sample each
time within a loop.

something like (untested):

nr <- nrow(dat)
ymat <- matrix(with(dat,sample(y,100*nr,rep=TRUE)), nrow =nr)
out <- lm(ymat ~x1+x2,data=dat)
b <- predict(out)

However, why do this anyway, as for linear models the standard closed
form solutions are available?

Cheers,
Bert
