R help - Jan 2010 - Bias-corrected bootstrap function?

Hi,

I try to do statistics on small samples (32 and 16 data points) using the
bootstrap method. The results from the ordinary non-parametric bootstrap
show significant impact from bias, which suggests the use of a
bias-corrected bootstrap method. Is there any built in function for this in
R? If so, how to use it?

Thanks!

Henrik

I think not. You could examine the boot package, or do a search:

RSiteSearch("bias bootstrap")
