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"... Greets Diego

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 ________________________________ John Fox Department of Sociology McMaster University email: jfox at McMaster.ca web: www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox ________________________________ -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)
