Generates one bootstrapped data set for the reference-free method for conducting EWAS while deconvoluting DNA methylation arising as mixtures of cell types. This version facilitates the estimation of robust standard errors to account for paired data (e.g. twin data) using a strategy similar to that employed by Generalized Estimating Equations (GEEs). Specifically, in bootstrapping the errors, the pairs are sampled rather than individual arrays. Typically not run by user.
