I may have misread your original posting, I thought you were using the boot
package but I don't see any function bootstrap. I also don't see any
documentation for the sampler parameter. What package are you using? If it is
possible, I am sure I will be corrected.
Sorry, I can't be of more help,

Hi Dan,
Thanks for response yes i do know that bootstrap samples generated by
function boot are of the same size as original dataset but somewhere in the
R-help threads i saw a suggestion that one can control sample size (n) by using
the following command(plz see below) but my problem is it doesnt work it gives
error ( error in : n * nboot : non-numeric argument to binary operator)
bootstrap(data,statistic,sampler=samp.bootstrap(size=20))
this is what somebody on R help suggested... can we fix that error
somehow ?
