-simulate- can be a real help in these cases. All that is left is
creating random samples from the observed data. This can be done using
the -bsample- command, see -help bsample-. Alternatively, what you want
is close to the bootstrap, instead that the aim of this excersice is
probably not to estimate the standard error/confidence interval, but to
look in some other way at the distribution of the results estimated in
the different samples. You can do that using -bootstrap- with the
-saving()- option.
