kullnagar.boot: Generate Bootstrap Replicates of Kulldorff and Nagarwalla's...

In DCluster: Functions for the Detection of Spatial Clusters of Diseases

Description

Generate bootstrap replicates of Kulldorff and Nagarwalla's statistic, by calling functions boot and kullnagar.stat.

kullnagar.boot is used when using non-parametric bootstrap to estimate the distribution of the statistic.

kullnagar.pboot is used when performing parametric bootstrap.

Usage

kullnagar.boot(data, i, ...)
kullnagar.pboot(...)

Arguments

data	A dataframe with the data as explained in DCluster.
i	Permutation created in non-parametric bootstrap.
...	Additional arguments passed to the functions.

Value

Both functions return the value of the statistic.
