Bootstrapping on R

Does R have a bootstrap command like SPlus, or do we have to form our
own code if we want to do bootstrapping in R?

Use packages boot or bootstrap from CRAN. I prefer the former, and use it
even on S-PLUS, as readers of V&R will know (and know why).

As you see from

  http://cran.r-project.org/doc/FAQ/R-FAQ.html#R%20Add-On%20Packages

there are two packages:

 * boot 
      Functions and datasets for bootstrapping from the book "Bootstrap Methods and Their
Applications" 
      by A. C. Davison and D. V. Hinkley, 1997, Cambridge University Press. 

  * bootstrap 
      Software (bootstrap, cross-validation, jackknife), data and errata for the book "An 
      Introduction to the Bootstrap" by B. Efron and R. Tibshirani, 1993, Chapman and Hall. 

I suggest you to install the package "boot"...

Dear Jason,

There are two contributed packages for bootstrapping: boot and bootstrap, 
associated respectively with Davison and Hinkley's and Efron and 
Tibshirani's books.

I hope that this helps,
  John
