Hi,I use the 'lmekin' model of the 'kinship' package of R in order to estimate 
heritability. I want to estimate the confidence interval of the variance 
coefficient and so I should use a bootstrap simulation. The pedigree file has 
1386 subjects so I create a kinship matrix [1386*1386].This is the code of R I 
use:
kfit2 <- lmekin(IT~1+AGE +(1|ID), dati1, varlist=list(kmat))kfit2kfit2$vcoef
library(boot)
var <- function(formula,data,indices,varlist) {   d <- data[indices,] # allows 
boot to select sample   kfit2 <- lmekin(formula, data=d, varlist=list(kmat))  
return(kfit2$vcoef)} 
# bootstrapping with 1000 replications results <- boot(data=dati1, 
statistic=var,        R=1000, formula=IT~1+AGE +(1|ID),varlist=list(kmat))
## WARNING MESSAGE: wrong number of indices for a matrix
What can I do with the kinship matrix??
Thanks for help!!
Best regards
Roberta
