[R] boot and coefficients

[ripley@stats.ox.ac.uk]

Let's see?  boot is not part of R, but there is one in package boot.
However, S-PLUS does not come with boot at all.  I think you are
trying to use an example from the wrong package, perhaps for a
function called `bootstrap'?

The boot package and the book it supports (and MASS and the book it
supports) have plenty of examples of this, so why not follow them?
You do need to be aware of the difference beween bootstrapping
cases and bootstrapping residuals.  There's an example of the latter in
?boot.
