Does R have a bootstrap command like SPlus, or do we have to form our
own code if we want to do bootstrapping in R?

I prefer the former, and use it even on S-PLUS, as readers of V&R will know (and know why). -- Brian D.

C. Davison and D. V. Hinkley, 1997, Cambridge University Press. * bootstrap Software (bootstrap, cross-validation, jackknife), data and errata for the book "An Introduction to the Bootstrap" by B. Efron and R. Tibshirani, 1993, Chapman and Hall. I suggest you to install the package "boot"...
