If I read your question now, I think, that I didn't understand you correctly, but...
My code generates 50 bootstrap samples (50 tables) and for each calculates mean of column x and mean of column y, so the final result is matrix with means. If you don't want to calculate means, code below generates list of 50 bootstrap samples. lapply(1:50,function(i){data[sample(nrow(data),size=nrow(data),replace=TRUE),]}) Please check help if some functions aren't understandable. 2009/12/7 casperyc <caspe...@hotmail.co.uk>: > > Hi there, > > This seems to 'simple' for that.
