I havent try that. Pls put me through.

Thanks,

This is fairly simple because I was able to use bsample 7000. This is just a single replication. What if I want to have at least 300 replications (sampling "e" 300 times and substituting for "e" 300 times) and then take the average of the 300 "y's" resulting from the replication and use the average in place of "y" .
