Dear R-experts,

Here is a toy example. How can I get the bootstrap confidence intervals working 
?

Many thanks for your help

############################
library(DescTools)
library(boot)
A=c(488,437,500,449,364)
dat<-data.frame(A)
med<-function(d,i) {
temp<-d[i,]
# shouldn't this be

HodgesLehmann(temp)  # ???

# makes no sense to extract a bootstrap sample and then return a value 
calculated on the full dataset

HodgesLehmann(A)
}
boot.out<-boot(data=dat,statistic=med,R=100)

I would have imagined that one could simply extract the quantiles of the HodgesLehmann at the appropriate tail probabilities:


quantile(boot.out$t, c(0.025, 0.975))
    2.5%    97.5%
400.5000 488.0001


It doesn't seem reasonable to have bootstrap CI's that are much tighter than the estimates on the original data:


> HodgesLehmann(boot.out$t, conf.level=0.95)
   est lwr.ci upr.ci
449.75 444.25 453.25    # seems to be cheating
> HodgesLehmann(dat$A, conf.level=0.95)
   est lwr.ci upr.ci
   449    364    500    # Much closer to the quantiles above

HodgesLehmann(boot.out$t)

boot.ci(boot.out,type="all")
