{title:Description}
{pstd}{cmd:bollenstine} performs the Bollen and Stine (1992) bootstrap
following structural equation models (confirmatory factor analysis) estimation.
The original data are rotated to conform to the fitted structure.
By default, {cmd:bollenstine} refits the model
with rotated data and uses the estimates as
starting values in each bootstrap iteration. It also rejects samples
where convergence was not achieved (implemented through the {cmd:reject(e(converged) == 0)} option supplied to
{helpb bootstrap}).
{title:Options}
{phang}{cmd:reps(}{it:#}{cmd:)} specifies the number of bootstrap replications.
The default is {cmd:reps(200)}.{p_end}
{phang}{cmd:saving(}{it:filename}{cmd:)} specifies the file
where the simulation results (the parameter estimates and the fit statistics)
are to be stored. The default is a temporary file that will
be deleted as soon as {cmd:bollenstine} finishes.{p_end}
{phang}{opt confaoptions(string)} allows the transfer of {cmd:confa}
options to {cmd:bollenstine}. If nondefault model options ({cmd:unitvar()} and
{cmd:correlated()}) were used, one would need to use them with
{cmd:bollenstine} as well.
{phang}All nonstandard model options, like {cmd:unitvar()} or {cmd:correlated()},
must be specified with {cmd:bollenstine} to produce correct results!
{phang}All other options are assumed to be {it:bootstrap_options}
and passed through to {helpb bootstrap}.
