Dear All,
I would like to use a nonparametric bootstrap to calculate the confidence
intervals for the 5% and 95% quantiles using boot.ci. As you know, boot.ci
requires the use of boot to generate bootstrap replicates for my statistic.
However this last function doesn't work in my case because I am missing
something. Here is an example
y <- rnorm(100)
Quantile <- function(df)
{
quantile(df, probs=c(0.05,0.95))
}
boot.out <- boot(y,Quantile, R=999, sim="ordinary")
Error in statistic(data, original, ...) : unused argument(s) (c(1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8
I think that it's due to another parameter (stype) that I have not included
but I don't know what this paremeter represents.
Many thanks for any suggestion.
Bernard
