Hi All, Two weeks ago, I received instructions from the R list about creating pseudodatasets by bootstrapping an existing dataset 1000 times. I received code that bootstrapped my dataset and ran an ANOVA on each pseudodataset, producing a histogram of F-values. Here is the code I received that produces this F-histogram. X <- data.frame(b=rnorm(2162),c =factor(rep(1:47,each=46))) ## linear fit with true values lm0 <- lm(b~c,data=X) Fvals <- numeric(1000) for (i in 1:1000) { X.boot <- X[sample(1:nrow(X),replace=TRUE),] Fvals[i] <- anova(lm(b~c,data=X.boot))$"F value"[1] } hist(Fvals) I am grateful for the assistance but the code does not provide what I need. I need the 1000 pseudodatasets produced by the bootstrap in order to work with them in a different context. Can you someone offer a suggestion on how to produce the bootstrapped datasets as a text file? Thank you. -Dan ************************************************ Dan Janes, Ph.D. Harvard University/OEB 26 Oxford St. Cambridge, MA 02138 Office: 617-496-2375 Fax: 617-495-5667 Email: djanes at oeb.harvard.edu
