[R] Bootstrapping pairs (was Re: [none])

[Roger Peng]

I think you can use the 'boot' library for this kind of problem.  Suppose
a had a matrix called 'data' which is n x 2 and I want to bootstrap a
statistic (called 'my.statistic') which operates on the entire matrix.

boot.func <- function(x, i) { my.statistic(x[i,]) }
b <- boot(data, boot.func, R = 1000)

The object 'b' contains the bootstrapped values of your statistic
(obtained by resampling rows of the matrix, which in this case is
resampling pairs).
