bootSingle {ResearchMethods}R Documentation

A demonstration of how bootstrapping works step by step for one function.

Description

This function uses a graphical user interface (GUI) to demonstrate how bootstrapping works, by bootstrapping a sample of the alphabet, either step-by-step or as an entire sample.

Usage

  bootSingle()

Details

This function produces two windows. The Tk window, or the control window, contains two sampling button: the top button takes an entire sample, the bottom button takes a stepwise sample: note that the first 26 clicks take the samples and then the button changes so that it can sort the sample.

The second window is a visual demonstration of bootstrapping: the top is a color-coded bootstrapped sample, while the bottom is the population sampled from: when a circle in the bottom turns red it means that it has been sampled from.

Value

No value is returned.
