Dear Jacob,

The appendix on bootstrapping to my R and S-PLUS Companion, available on the web at <http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/appendix-bootstrapping.pdf>, discusses fixed-X resampling (which is what you're getting at here, I think) and includes an example.

I hope that this helps,
 John

Hallo
Could anybody please help.
I have a simple linear regression model with 5 predictors. I want to
use "bootstrap residuals" to make inferences regarding beta(2)hat. After
fitting the model y=b0+b1+b2+b3+b4+b5 I tried the following:

mod <- lm(y ~ x1+x2+x3+x4+x5)
res <- resid(mod)
pred <- predict(mod)

Now, I have tried

boot(res, lm(res+pred ~ x1+x2+x3+x4+x5)$coef[3], R=1999)

The problem is with the "statistic". How should I "define" this?
