Dear List
I am using R with mcgv package to model spatial variation in density estimates of dorcas gazelle in Sinai. I have 59 points of data and 4 explanatory variables(distance from mountain edge, camel presence, Latitude & Longitude). I want to test the model fir via bootstraping. I have used the jacknife bootstraping but it have the limitation of allowing only 58 trials. I tried to use the bootstrap function in R but I couldn;t understand the help file description. Please forgive my novice with such advance statistics since I am a biologist.
I would appreciate any help on advicing on how to use the bootstrap function in R.
Thanks in advance
