# fwildclusterboot 0.3.7
2+
3+
+ Bug fix: the output of `boottest()` varied depending on the class of the
4+
input fixed effects for regressions both via `lfe::felm()` and `fixest::feols()`.
5+
This bug occurred because `boottest()` does not work with a pre-processed model.frame object from either `felm()` or `feols()` but works with the original input data. While both `felm()` and `feols()` change non-factor fixed effects variables to factors internally, `boottest()` did not check but implicitely assumed that all fixed effects used in the regression models are indeed factors in the original data set. As a consequence, if one or more fixed effects were e.g. numeric, `boottest()` would produce incorrect results without throwing an error.
6+
With version 0.3.7, `boottest()` checks internally if all variables in the original data set which are used as fixed effects are factor variables and if not, changes them to factors.
7+
Thanks for timotheedotc for raising the issue on github, which can be found here: https://github.com/s3alfisc/fwildclusterboot/issues/14.
8+
+ Some tests have been added that compare output from `boottest()` with the wild cluster bootstrap implemented via `clusterSEs`.
