A question regarding bootstrap
Dear List Members, I have two small samples (n=20), the distributions are highly skewed. Does it make any sense to do a boostrap test to check for difference in means? And if so, could this be done like this: x <- numeric(10000) for(i in 1:10000) { x[i] <- mean(sample(sample1,replace=TRUE)) - mean(sample(sample2,replace=TRUE)) } (mean(sample1)-mean(sample2))/sd(x) Regards, Erika
