Resample

Description

Simulates observations from a multinomial distribution.

Usage

resample(object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'numeric'
resample(object, do, n, size = sum(object), ..., f = NULL)

Arguments

object	A numeric vector of count data (absolute frequencies).
...	Extra arguments passed to do.
do	A function that takes object as an argument and returns a single numeric value.
n	A non-negative integer specifying the number of bootstrap replications.
size	A non-negative integer specifying the sample size.
f	A function that takes a single numeric vector (the result of do) as argument.

Value

If f is NULL, resample() returns the n values of do. Else, returns the result of f applied to the n values of do.

Examples

## Sample observations from a multinomial distribution
x <- sample(1:100, 50, TRUE)
resample(x, do = median, n = 100)

## Estimate the 25th, 50th and 95th percentiles
quant <- function(x) { quantile(x, probs = c(0.25, 0.50, 0.75)) }
resample(x, n = 100, do = median, f = quant)
