Bootstrapping and Resampling with S-Plus

Updated; March 2002

A library of functions and data written by Angelo Canty to accompany the Cambridge University Press publication Bootstrap Methods and Their Application by Anthony Davison and David Hinkley.

Linux/Unix Version

To install the Unix version of the library download the file bootlib.sh.Z and then run the command uncompress -c bootlib.sh.Z | sh . From there follow the instructions in the file READ.ME. Note that this version works with S-Plus 5 and S-Plus 6 on Linux/Unix as well as S-Plus 3.x (x > 1).

Windows Versions

To install the Windows version for S-Plus Version 6.0 download the file boot.zip. Acknowledgement to Brian Ripley for the latter.
To install the Windows version for S-Plus Version 3.2+ download the file bootlib.exe. Move it to an appropriate directory and execute the file.
For S-Plus Version 3.1 download the file boot31.exe. Move it to an appropriate directory and execute the file.

Many aspects of the library are described in "An S-Plus Library for Resampling Methods" presented by Angelo J. Canty at the 30th Symposium on the Interface: Computing Science and Statistics, Minneapolis, May 15, 1998. Postscript files of the poster and related paper may be downloaded.

Please note that these functions are not guaranteed in any way and no responsibility can be taken by the author or Cambridge University Press with respect to any problems which may occur. Any bugs should be reported to cantya@mcmaster.ca for correction in a subsequent version of the code.
