studentized CIs for a correlation using package boot
...ary. For this CIs we need to compute a variance estimate of the statistic (here correlation coeff) from each boostrap sample. There are 2 important points, I think: (1) We need to do a fisher transformation (atanh(x)) to correct for non-normality, this can be done easily be specifying h, hinv, and hdot parameteres in the boot.ci call. (2) an estimate for the variance is (as far as I remember) 1-correlation2)2/n (For fisher transformed data, an estimator is: 1/(n-3)) do you think, this is the correct way: library(boot) fisher <- function(r) 0.5*log((1+r)/(1-r)) fisher.dot <- function(r) 1/...

Bootstrap Confidence Intervals
Hi all. This is my first post in this forum. Finally I find a forum in the web about R, although is not in my language. Now I'm working with Bootstrap CI. I'd like to know how I can calculate a Bootstrap CI for any statistic, in particular, for Kurtosis Coeficient. I have done the following code lines: > library(boot) > x=rnorm(20) > kurtosis=function(x)
