      <abstract>
        <p>It is well known that under certain regularity conditions the boot- strap sampling distributions of common statistics are consistent with their true sampling distributions. However, the consistency results rely heavily on the underlying regularity conditions and in fact, a failure to satisfy some of these may lead us to a serious departure from consistency. Consequently, the ‘sufficient bootstrap’ method (which only uses distinct units in a bootstrap sample in order to reduce the computational burden for larger sample sizes) based sampling distributions will also be inconsistent. In this paper, we combine the ideas of sufficient and m-out-of-n (m/n) bootstrap methods to regain consistency. We further propose the iterated version of this bootstrap method in non-regular cases and our simulation study reveals that similar or even better coverage accuracies than percentile bootstrap confidence inter- vals can be obtained through the proposed iterated sufficient m/n bootstrap with less computational time each case.</p>
