Abstract
Statistical procedures based on the estimated empirical process are well known for testing goodness of fit to parametric distribution families. These methods usually are not distribution free, so that the asymptotic critical values of test statistics depend on unknown parameters. This difficulty may be overcome by the utilization of parametric bootstrap procedures. The aim of this paper is to prove a weak approximation theorem for the bootstrapped estimated empirical process under very general conditions, which allow both the most important continuous and discrete distribution families, along with most parameter estimation methods. The emphasis is on families of discrete distributions, and simulation results for families of negative binomial distributions are also presented.
