Dear David,
Dear Rui,
Many thanks for your response. It perfectly works for the mean. Now I have a
problem with my R code for the median. Because I always get 1 (100%) coverage
probability that is more than very strange. Indeed, considering that an
interval whose lower limit is the smallest value in the sample and whose upper
limit is the largest value has 1/32 + 1/32 = 1/16 probability of non-coverage,
implying that the confidence of such an interval is 15/16 rather than 1 (100%),
I suspect that the confidence interval I use for the median is not correctly
defined for n=5 observations, and likely contains all observations in the
sample ? What is wrong with my R code ?
Seems to me that doing a bootstrap within a `replicate` call is not
needed. (Use one or the other as a mechanism for replication.
Here's what I would consider to be a "bootstrap" operation for
estimating a 95% CI on the Gamma distributed population you created:
Used a sample size of 10000 rather than 100000
> quantile( replicate( 1000, {median(sample(s,5))}) , .5+c(-0.475,0.475))
2.5% 97.5%
0.1343071 0.6848352
This is using boot::boot to calculate medians of samples of size 5
> med <- function( data, indices) {
+ d <- data[indices[1:5]] # allows boot to select sample
+ return( median(d))
+ }
> res <- boot(data=s, med, 1000)
> str(res)

Hello,
The code is running very slowly because you are recreating the function
in the replicate() loop and because you are creating a data.frame also
in the loop.
And because in the bootstrap statistic function med() you are computing
the variance of yet another loop. This is probably statistically wrong
but like David says, without a problem description it's hard to say.
Also, why compute variances if they are never used?
Here is complete code executing in much less than 2:00 hours. Note that
it passes the vector a directly to med(), not a df with just one column.
library(boot)
set.seed(2021)
s <- sample(178:798, 100000, replace = TRUE)
mean(s)
med <- function(d, i) {
temp <- d[i]
f <- mean(temp)
g <- var(temp)
c(Mean = f, Var = g)
}
N <- 1000
out <- replicate(N, {
a <- sample(s, size = 5)
boot.out <- boot(data = a, statistic = med, R = 10000)
boot.ci(boot.out, type = "stud")$stud[, 4:5]
})
mean(out[1, ] < mean(s) & mean(s) < out[2, ])
#[1] 0.952
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Dear R-experts,
Here below my R code working but really really slowly ! I need 2 hours with my
computer to finally get an answer ! Is there a way to improve my R code to
speed it up ? At least to win 1 hour ;=)
Many thanks
