Dear Prof. Ripley, thank you for your fast answer. But which book do you mean? I can't find an MASS book. Do you mean the R book? Best wishes, Ralph Am Samstag, den 07.03.2009, 21:24 + schrieb Prof Brian Ripley: > It is an example (both via asymptotic theory and the bootstrap) in > chapt

Re: [R] standard error for median

It is an example (both via asymptotic theory and the bootstrap) in chapter 5 of MASS (the book). The functions used are in the scripts of the MASS package, but you will need to understand the theory being used as described in the book. On Sat, 7 Mar 2009, Ralph Scherer wrote: Dear all, is

[R] standard error for median
