Abstract: Bootstrap tests are tests for which the significance level is calculated by some sort of bootstrap procedure, which may be parametric or nonparametric. We provide a theoretical framework in which to study the size distorsions of bootstrap P values. We show that, in many circumstances, the size distorsion of a bootstrap test will be one whole order of magnitude smaller than that of the corresponding asymptotic test.
