Wild Bootstrap Size Diagnostics

Implements the diagnostic "theta" developed in Poetscher and Preinerstorfer (2020) "How Reliable are Bootstrap-based Heteroskedasticity Robust Tests?" , which appeared as in Econometric Theory , Volume 39 , Issue 4 , August 2023 , pp. 789 - 847. The diagnostic "theta" can be used to detect and weed out bootstrap-based procedures that provably have size equal to one for a given testing problem. The implementation covers a large variety of bootstrap-based procedures, cf. the above mentioned article for details. A function for computing bootstrap p-values is provided.
