In simpleboot: Simple Bootstrap Routines

Description

Construct a histogram of the bootstrap distribution of univariate statistic.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'simpleboot'
hist(x, do.rug = FALSE, xlab = "Bootstrap samples", main = "", ...)

Arguments

x	An object of class "simpleboot" returned from either one.boot, two.boot, or pairs.boot.
do.rug	Should a rug of the bootstrap distribution be plotted under the histogram?
xlab	The label for the x-axis.
main	The title for the histogram.
...	Other arguments passed to hist.
