Abstract
Abstract While researchers commonly use the bootstrap to quantify the uncertainty of an estimator, it has been noticed that the standard bootstrap, in general, does not work for Chatterjee’s rank correlation. In this paper, we provide proof of this issue under an additional independence assumption, and complement our theory with simulation evidence for general settings. Chatterjee’s rank correlation thus falls into a category of statistics that are asymptotically normal, but bootstrap inconsistent. Valid inferential methods in this case are Chatterjee’s original proposal for testing independence and the analytic asymptotic variance estimator of Lin & Han (2022) for more general purposes.
