[R] m out of n bootstrap

[James Shaw]

Can anyone confirm the formula for the m out of n bootstrap variance
estimator?  rq.boot applies a deflation factor directly to the
bootstrap estimates.  Presumably, the SE of the estimate of interest
is then taken to be the SD of the deflated estimates.  I have read
Bickel's and others' papers on this subject but have not seen an
explicit formula provided for the m out n variance estimator.
