Dear Austin:
This is very helpful.

I have tried to use these lines and get the message:
''insufficient obervations to compute bootstrap standard errors''

 One question. My data has 445 rows, with GPS code identifiers. How do I
modify the pr eachone, bsample commands to suit this situation. Dioes
this have something to do with the number of rows? or the way x is
generated here?

Thanks
Paswel
