Dear All, I tried to use the boot function, provided in the boot package, in such a simple task as to create a bootstrap distribution of the mean of a vector x. I wrote:
b <- boot(x, mean, R=200) Well, it doesn't work. I suspect it has something to do with what is called "second argument" of the "statistic" in the help page of boot. What is the second argument of mean? I don't understand. The whole description in the documentation about this "second argument" is somewaht cryptic and confusing. Will someone please help me? Sincerely, J.
