SPSS can be used for many kinds of simulation, bootstrapping, monte carlo, etc.   The vocabulary for this is not very consistent across disciplines.

There are many different kinds of functions for generating random values "*.rv.something(arg1, arg2...).
There are many cumulative and inverse distribution functions.
it also have a vast array of hypothesis tests that you could contrast with your test.


What is the conceptual type of hypothesis you are testing? 
What is the conventional way to test this kind of hypothesis  that you want to show improvement over?
Are there specific assumptions that you want to relax?

What is the part of the test that you want to show is an improvement?


Have you implemented your test in SPSS syntax?

Hello

 

I would be grateful to learn from any list users who have used SPSS successfully for bootstrap sampling to assess robustness to Type I errors of a proposed new hypothesis test.

 

Many thanks in advance

 

Best wishes
