resampFamily {fullfact}

Bootstrap resample within families

Description

Bootstrap resample observations grouped by family identities for a specified number of iterations to create a resampled data set.

Usage

resampFamily(dat, copy, family, iter)

Arguments

dat

Data frame observed data to resample.

copy

Column numbers to copy.

family

Column name containing family identity information.

iter

Number of iterations for resampling.

Details

The resampled data can be used for producing bootstrap confidence intervals.

Value

Because of the large file sizes that can be produced, the resampling of each family X is saved separately as a common separated (X_resampF.csv) file in the working directory. These files are merged to create the final resampled data set (resamp_datF.csv).
