I'm interested in getting a bootstrap distribution of the difference in the value of a statistic across two groups, with the
sample size for each group being less than what prevails in the full sample, and the statistic being computed by a user-written program. Let's say, for example, that the total sample is 1000, with N1 = 400 in group 1 and N2 = 600 in group 2, and let's say that I want bootstrap samples with n1 =10 from group 1 and n2 = 20 from group 2, in order to compute the difference in ranges across groups. Now, if n1 = N1 and n2 = N2, the -strata- option on
-bootstrap- would do it, but I'm interested in n1 < N1 and n2< N2. I could imagine using -simulate-, and doing my own sampling routine within the simulated program, but I was hoping for a simpler solution.
