Bootstrapping the shorth for regression
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 10 (2006), pp. 216-235.

The paper is concerned with the asymptotic distributions of estimators for the length and the centre of the so-called η-shorth interval in a nonparametric regression framework. It is shown that the estimator of the length converges at the n 1/2 -rate to a gaussian law and that the estimator of the centre converges at the n 1/3 -rate to the location of the maximum of a brownian motion with parabolic drift. Bootstrap procedures are proposed and shown to be consistent. They are compared with the plug-in method through simulations.
