Hello, I downloaded R today because I was told it has very good bootstrapping abilities. What I need to do is to program it (or use an existing program) to bootstrapping test for multimodality using nonparametric kernel density estimates as proposed by Efron and Tibshirani (1993). If anyone can get me started, I will be immensely grateful. Thanks.

There are good PDF manuals from the CRAN website http://cran.us.r-project.org. For example, "An Introduction to R" may be a good place to start. Also, you may want to obtain a copy (from the library or wherever) of Boostrap Methods and their Applications by Davison and Hinkley, which covers the 'boot' library (which most likely came with your R distribution). -roger _______________________________ UCLA Department of Statistics rpeng at stat.ucla.edu http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~rpeng On Sun, 4 Aug 2002, Sangeeta Goyal wrote:> Hello, > > I downloaded R today because I was told it has very good bootstrapping > abilities.

Hi Sangeeta, There is an example of this in Chapter 4 of Davison and Hinkley (1997) and practical 4.5 of that book gives some code that can be used with my boot package. This package is available on CRAN if you did not get it when you downloaded R.
