Abstract

We treat the problem of variance estimation of the least squares estimate of the parameter in high dimensional linear regression models by using the Uncorrelated Weights Bootstrap (U BS). We ?nd a representation of the U BS dispersion matrix and show that the bootstrap estimator is consistent if p2/n ? 0 where p is the dimension of the parameter and n is the sample size. For ?xed dimension we show that the U BS belongs to the R-class as de?ned in Liu and Singh (1992).
