[R] problems performing bootstrap

[John Sorkin]

R2.1.1
Windows XP

I have defined a function:

best<-function (x) 
{
xx<-pmax(x[,1],x[,2])
pvalue<-t.test(xx,mu=100)
pvalue$p.value
}

and then I try to bootstrap best as follows:

> boot( array(rnorm(30,100,1),c(15,2)),best,R=100 )

and get the following message:

Error in statistic(data, original, ...) : unused argument(s) ( ...)

I would appreciate any help that you might offer.
Thanks,
John
