The first bootstrap is called parametric bootstrap, and the second one is called the residual-based bootstrap. The results from the two bootstrap methods are similar, but both bootstrap methods failed to detect the model misspecification introduced for the state space model considered.35 pagesenThis item is protected by copyright and unless otherwise specified the copyright of this thesis/dissertation is held by the author.Quantitative psychologyPsychometricsDissertationhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-1753-8398openAccess
