Hello,

I downloaded R today because I was told it has very good bootstrapping
abilities. What I need to do is to program it (or use an existing program)
to bootstrapping test for multimodality using nonparametric kernel density
estimates as proposed by Efron and Tibshirani (1993). If anyone can get me
started, I will be immensely grateful.

Thanks.
Sangeeta

There are good PDF manuals from the CRAN website
http://cran.us.r-project.org.  For example, "An Introduction to R" may be
a good place to start.  Also, you may want to obtain a copy (from the
library or wherever) of Boostrap Methods and their Applications by Davison
and Hinkley, which covers the 'boot' library (which most likely came with
your R distribution).

Hi Sangeeta,

There is an example of this in Chapter 4 of Davison and Hinkley (1997)
and practical 4.5 of that book gives some code that can be used with
my boot package.  This package is available on CRAN if you did not
get it when you downloaded R.
