Software (bootstrap, cross-validation, jackknife) and data for the book "An Introduction to the Bootstrap" by B. Efron and R. Tibshirani, 1993, Chapman and Hall. This package is primarily provided for projects already based on it, and for support of the book. New projects should preferentially use the recommended package "boot".
This is an R port of Efron & Tibshirani's boostrap S-library that
accompanies their 1993 book `An introduction to the bootstrap'.
