Please look at the help for boot, in particular what it says the form of 'statistic' should be. Possibly what you want is

corr.t <- function(data, ind) cor(data[ind,])[1,2]

nlaw appears to be a single-column matrix: that will not work either.

Hi R users,
I have one simple question but I really don't know why I can't get it work.
The data was adopted from Efron's An introduction to the bootstrap book.
nlaw
    LSAT  GPA
[1,]  576 3.39
[2,]  635 3.30
[3,]  558 2.81
[4,]  578 3.03
[5,]  666 3.44

[12,]  575 2.74
[13,]  545 2.76
[14,]  572 2.88
[15,]  594 2.96
nlaw<-as.matrix(law[,-1])
corr.t<-function(data){
+        return(boot::corr(data))
+        }
law.boot<-boot(data=nlaw,statistic=corr.t,R=49)
Error in statistic(data, original, ...) : unused argument(s) (1:15)

many thanks for the help
