Details

hist constructs a histogram for the bootstrap distribution of a univariate statistic. It cannot be used with linear model or loess bootstraps. In the histogram a red dotted line is plotted denoting the observed value of the statistic.

Examples

x <- rnorm(100)

## Bootstrap the 75th percentile
b <- one.boot(x, quantile, R = 1000, probs = 0.75)
hist(b)
